None of course. But he will use that excuse to delay and obstruct the Georgia investigation for as long as he can.

A district court judge said prosecutors could not question Graham about portions of his calls that were legislative fact-finding. But the judge said Willis’s team could explore coordination with the Trump campaign in its post-election efforts in Georgia, public statements regarding the 2020 election and any efforts to “cajole” or “exhort” Georgia election officials. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed that those actions “could not qualify as legislative activities under any understanding of Supreme Court precedent.” Two of the judges were nominated by Trump.

At issue in Graham’s subpoena dispute are calls the senator made to Raffensperger and his staff in which prosecutors said the senator asked about “reexamining certain absentee ballots” in the state to “explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome” for Trump.
