The Atlanta Da Says Lindsey Graham S Testimony Is Critical To The Investigation

He went on to say that “delaying the Senator’s testimony will not merely delay his appearance; it will also delay the disclosure of an entire class of relevant witnesses or information.” The filing was in response to Graham’s efforts to get a federal judge to stay an order requiring him to appear before a special purpose grand jury until he could appeal. Graham has argued that he should not be forced to testify before the grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 result in Georgia — where Democrat Joe Biden narrowly won the state — because his actions around the election of the state were related to legislative activity as then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and should be protected by the Constitution’s speech and debate clause. The judge gave Fulton County prosecutors until 9 a.m. Friday to respond to Graham’s motion to stay her decision. In their response, Georgia prosecutors argued, “Given the possibility that Senator Graham’s testimony could reveal additional avenues of investigation, staying in custody and ordering his appearance at this stage could ultimately delay the resolution of the entire of the (Special Purpose Grand Jury) investigation. ” “The public interest is served by allowing Senator Graham’s appearance to proceed, ensuring the efficient continuation of the Special Purpose Grand Jury investigation,” wrote Senior Assistant Attorney General F. McDonald Wakeford. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat who is leading the investigation into former President Donald Trump and his allies, told the court that Graham’s actions appeared intertwined with Trump and that the grand jury needed to hear from the senator about at least two phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the wake of the 2020 election. On Monday, Atlanta-based federal judge Leigh Martin May denied Graham’s motion to quash his subpoena. May, an Obama appointee, wrote in her decision to decline that there were “significant areas of inquiry” that were not legislative in nature when the senator made the two calls to Raffensperger’s office. On Wednesday, Graham and his lawyers asked a separate federal judge to issue a stay of sentence so he does not have to appear before a grand jury on August 23. In a court filing, they wrote that Graham “will suffer irreparable harm if forced to appear before his appeal.” “[He] he should not be given the opportunity to extend this delay while he continues to make arguments that he is not subject to a subpoena,” Wakeford wrote in the Fulton County District Attorney’s response Friday. “The Prosecutor asks this Court to deny Senator Graham’s motion that he, for one day, assist them in this great work without further delay. The People have asked for Senator Graham’s testimony and are ready to receive it. He remains have the Senator meet them,” Wakeford added.
