Graham (R-S.C.) was ordered to appear before a grand jury investigating possible attempts by President Donald Trump and his allies to disrupt Georgia's 2020 presidential election.

A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Thursday turned down Graham’s attempt to block a subpoena from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis . Graham had claimed

that a sitting senator is shielded from such investigations.
