A judge has ordered former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to testify before a Georgia grand jury that is investigating the alleged attempt by Donald Trump and his allies to illegally interfere in the November 2020 presidential election.
At a court hearing in Fairfax County, Va. – a suburb of Washington, D.C. – Judge Robert Smith on Wednesday ordered Gingrich to appear on Nov. 29 before a special grand jury in Georgia's Fulton County, which is investigating alleged"criminal disruptions" in the state related to the 2020 election.
But Kyle Mandelbaum, a Virginia prosecutor representing Georgia authorities at Wednesday's hearing, told the judge that the county grand jury was specifically looking at whether Georgia laws were violated following the 2020 election and that the grand jury"will be issuing a report recommending whether criminal charges" should be filed by Georgia prosecutors.
In support of his unsuccessful argument that Gingrich should not have to testify, Burlingame cited a Sept. 1 letter to Gingrich in which Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the House Jan. 6 committee, lays out issues related to post-election activities that the committee wants to question Gingrich about.
