Atlanta-area prosecutors urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to reject Sen. Lindsey Graham’s effort to avoid testifying in their investigation of Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election.
“If the Senator receives his stay, the Special Purpose Grand Jury will be foreclosed indefinitely from pursuing unique information, analyzing any resulting evidence, or using the Senator’s testimony to explore additional routes of valid inquiry,” Willis and fellow prosecutors wrote. Graham sued in August to block the subpoena, contending that he should be protected from the county-level probe by the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause, which prohibits members of Congress from being questioned in court about their official business. But Graham lost his legal battle in the U.S. District Court of Northern Georgia and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
On Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas, who oversees the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit, granted Graham a temporary stay. The final ruling on Graham’s stay request is likely to involve the full Supreme Court.
