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.
