A federal appeals court on Sunday halted Sen. Lindsey Graham’s testimony before the grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts by allies of former President Donald Trump’s to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, acting on a request by the South Carolina Republican, temporarily blocked a decision by a federal judge in Atlanta that rejected Graham’s claim of congressional immunity and ordered him to appear before the special grand jury on Tuesday.
The three-panel appeals court returned the matter to US District Judge Leigh Martin May to decide whether the subpoena should be partially squashed or modified because of protections granted to members of Congress.
Once decided, the case will be returned to the appeals court.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has said her team wants to ask Graham about phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the November election about tossing absentee ballots.
He said the inquiries were protected under the Constitution’s Speech or Debate clause that prevents a local official from questioning a senator about official legislative acts.

Obama stooge and ACTUAL Democrat Party member "judge" Leigh Martin May got spanked by the 11th Circuit!
Will take the win. Wherever we can get them because there aren’t too many.
About time !
The word "alleged" is never used in connection with the accusations made by Democrats against PDJT.
What’s hilarious is that Linda voted to confirm this Obama stooge.
That’s a picture of an American traitor.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis...
I don’t know how a judge can compel a sitting Senator to appear, since except for major crimes members of Congress cannot be stopped from attending sessions by either the executive or judicial branches.
.
This effort - to have him testify - is a Trash Atlanta thing.
Lindsey has friends lined throughout the Federal system, and he supports Merrick Garland, and he’s besties with Wray.
So, this is a local trash effort being halted, to be clear.
.
Absolutely!
His only value is being on the inside, if he loses Inside influence, he might as well be ILHAN OMAR .
He undermines with knowledge of the Plan.
.
Be that as it may, these efforts by the Soros funded DAs to turn the rule of law on its head, and seek criminal penalties against their political rivals is one of the grave threats to the Republic at the present time.
This is how it works in the 3rd world all the time. You lose an election, and the winning party throws the opposition into the hoosgow for a few years.
Even if it’s Lady G, this has to be opposed.
I’m surprised that Linda wasn’t chomping at the bit to cry to the committee like a needle-stuck baby. He’s such a manic-depressive when it comes to President Trump, he’ll probably show up on Tuesday anyway, depending on his mood.
Illegal efforts to overturn an illegal election?
I agree. It just turns my stomach how some see him as a lesser of two evils and keep re-electing the warmonger globalist.
.
They are sending this back to a Judge that quickly dismissed Lindsey Graham just 2 or 3 days ago. She quickly dispensed of his arguments and laughed him off.
Don’t try this at home, no court will come to save you. A Friday afternoon Ruling and a Appeals Court decision that weekend.
Friday afternoon:
“Senator Graham raises a number of arguments as to why he is likely to succeed on the merits, but they are all unpersuasive,” she wrote in the ruling.“

CORRECTION:
A federal appeals court on Sunday halted Sen. Lindsey Graham’s testimony before the grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts by allies of former President Donald Trump’s to overturn the results of the efforts of concerned US citizens to determine whether or not the 2020 election in Georgia was determined by fraud.
Fulton County is so corrupt.
Lindsey is a “made man” in the Washington crime families. He will never have to worry about any criminal investigation ever.
