ATLANTA — The Fulton County special purpose grand jury continued its investigation Tuesday into potential criminal interference in Georgia’s 2020 election, though two key witnesses continue to fight their subpoenas to testify.

The grand jury is scheduled to meet two more times this week as it examined several aspects of potential criminal interference, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s two alleged phone calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

In court documents, officials said Graham wanted Raffensperger to “reexamine” some mail-in ballots in an effort to throw the election to former President Donald Trump.
