A federal appeals court temporarily blocked a lower court's ruling that mandated Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) testify before a Georgia grand jury in its investigation into Donald Trump and his allies' attempts to sway the state's 2020 election results in his favor.

"In a brief order, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sent the ruling back down to the district court, instructing the judge there to weigh any potential changes to Fulton County's grand jury subpoena to Graham in alignment with the Constitution's speech and debate clause," ABC News reports. "The clause, which offers lawmakers certain legal protections when they are acting in their official capacities, is at the heart of Graham's challenge to the subpoena for his testimony."

But this morning, District Court Judge Leigh Martin May ruled that Graham has until 9am this Wednesday "to file a Motion as to exactly as to which questions and/or categories he is requesting the Court to address in an Order to partially quash the subpoena."

Following this, the Fulton County DA's Office will have until next Monday to respond, after which Graham must respond by Wednesday, August 31st.

3. Of course I'm just guessing

but I have to laugh! The Judge is probably pissed that she has to rerule after her decision got kicked back from the Appellate, so she has booted the problem back to the defendant to identify the areas that he complains about. And she has him on a short, short leash. If he leaves anything out, she doesn't have to address it. Ah, the games people play, ya'll. Good for her.
