Showing Original Post only (View all)Sen. Lindsey Graham a no-show at scheduled Fulton County court appearance [View all]
CBSATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46/AP) - U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham did not show up to his scheduled appearance on Wednesday at the Fulton County courthouse.
Graham was subpoenaed to testify to a special grand jury thats investigating whether Trump and others broke any laws when they tried to overturn Joe Bidens win in Georgia in 2020.
The senator is one of the Trump allies who Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to question as part of her investigation into what she alleges was a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.
Graham said previously that he would fight a subpoena and he still has the ability to do so if he so chooses.
Grahams attorneys say that the probe by the Democratic district attorney, Fani Willis, is politically motivated.
Graham was ordered to testify before the Special Purpose Grand Jury on Aug. 2. The petition also states that the State of Georgia will pay all reasonable and necessary travel expenses and witness fees requited to secure his attendance and testimony.

I guess so and thanks for the new word. But I think I wrote "flaunt" as in "Flaunt it in your face"
