Senator Graham & 2020 Election Case: Bank on Senator Having to Testify

On Monday, U.S. Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas issued a temporary stay, delaying the testimony of Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) before the special grand jury in Fulton County, Ga., which is investigating efforts by the Trump campaign and its allies to reverse the result of the 2020 presidential election in the Peach State. (President Biden won Georgia by just 11,779 votes — less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the roughly 5 million votes cast).

This will be only a temporary reprieve. Fulton County prosecutors have been directed to respond by Thursday. Thereafter, the Supreme Court is likely to order Senator Graham to honor the subpoena, perhaps with some limitations on what he may be asked.
