Supreme Court declines to block subpoena for Sen. Lindsey Graham's testimony in front of Atlanta grand jury probing efforts to overturn 2020 election
There were no public dissents from the order. The South Carolina senator had filed an emergency request asking the justices to halt the testimony – currently scheduled for November 17 – while legal challenges play out. Graham will now have to appear for testimony, although a lower court order leaves room for him to object to certain questions as they come up if there is a dispute about whether the question is off limits.
The court also noted that should disputes arise about particular questions the Senator’s lawyers can still object to questions on a case by case basis. “Accordingly,” the Supreme Court said, “a stay or injunction is not necessary to safeguard the Senator’s speech or debate clause immunity.
