US Supreme Court OKs Graham testimony in Georgia election probe

The United States Supreme Court has declined to block Senator Lindsey Graham from having to testify before a grand jury in a criminal investigation of Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state of Georgia, handing a setback to a prominent ally of the former president.

The top court justices on Tuesday denied Graham’s emergency request to put on hold a judge’s order requiring him to appear as a witness before the grand jury in Fulton County while the Republican senator’s appeal in the dispute proceeded.

Graham, who represents South Carolina in the US Senate, contends that as a member of Congress, he is protected under the constitution from questioning in the investigation.
