WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - A judge ordered U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to testify in front of a special grand jury in Georgia investigating former President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered that Graham will be required to testify on Aug. 2. The judge's certification filed on Monday described Graham as a "necessary and material witness" to the grand jury probe. The development was reported earlier by WSB-TV.
Graham's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The senator's attorneys said last week he would not comply with a subpoena issued by the grand jury.
The grand jury also subpoenaed members of Trump's former legal team, including personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had requested the special jury in January in part due to its subpoena power, which she argued was needed to compel witness testimony.
The probe was launched after Trump was recorded in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call pressuring Georgia's secretary of state to overturn the state's election results based on unfounded claims of voter fraud.
During the phone call, Trump urged Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to "find" enough votes to overturn his Georgia loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
The transcript of the call quotes Trump telling Raffensperger: "I just want to find 11,780 votes," which is the number Trump needed to win Georgia.

Since when is challenging a fraudulent election some sort of criminal matter?
Since the Bolsheviks stole the election.
We’re not living in what once constituted the United States any longer. We’re in a whole new world now.
almost a fundamental transformation, eh?
Fundament—the fleshy portion of the body one sits on.
An apt choice for RINO Traitor Brad.
They have got to find a way to take him out, else they are looking at prison.
Raffensperger is dirty X 10.
Without knowing who this judge is, he knows this farce of a probe is a waste of time, but it doesn’t matter to he and his fellow traitors, it doesn’t matter yet. But it will later.
They won’t be able to hide from what’s coming. They will not escape justice.
You all will make Linda cry.

Lindsey had to look up what a Subpoena is.
I don’t think a county judge can compel a US Senator to do anything.
Flimsey was a JAG.
He may be a slippery weasel but he knows the law.
History making first. As the most pronounced two faced guy in DC history he can appear to testify for the prosecution and the defense. Giving equally helpful and convincing testimony to both sides.
“Well, let me assure the members of this Grand Jury that I feel strongly both ways!”, declared the weaselly Senator Laundry Grime.
Where is this going to Linda in the end?
He's never minded showing his backside to the thespians before.
“Since when is challenging a fraudulent election some sort of criminal matter?”
It isn’t, Trump’s opponents are BS artists on this issue.
Where do all the faithless electors from the Presidential Elections of 2016 fit in?
The democrat left has “pushed the envelope” on every election since 2000.
Now they “cry wolf” when the Trump campaign & voters fought back against the Big Steal of 2020.
Were they attempting to destroy our Constitutional Republic in 2016?
OK Linda, now is the time for you to put the final nail in your two faced, rat rino coffin.
Obama said it: “In three days we’re going to fundamentally transform the United States”.
