Georgia secretary of state to testify before grand jury investigating Trump
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was on the receiving end of an infamous Jan. 2, 2021, phone call in which then-President Donald Trump pleaded with him "to find 11,780 votes," will testify under oath Thursday before a special grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Raffensperger, whose office oversees Georgia's elections, is among at least half a dozen people working in his office who have been subpoenaed to testify in June before the special grand jury in Fulton County. The subpoenas, which were first obtained by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, provide the earliest glimpses into an unprecedented criminal probe of a president's interactions with state elections officials.
The secretary of state received a separate subpoena for documents, including "writing or medium that memorializes the events surrounding the January 2, 2021 telephone call with President Donald Trump," and "any writing or medium that explains" Trump's conduct during the call.
Those requests could help the special grand jury get a better sense of Trump's intent, according to Melissa Redmon, a University of Georgia law professor and former Fulton County prosecutor. Redmon said Raffensperger will likely be asked questions that "get into the intent of the president."
