(Reuters) – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily blocked a lower court’s order requiring Senator Lindsay Graham to testify to a grand jury in Georgia investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to overturn 2020 election results in the state.
Thomas granted the Republican senator’s request to halt the lower court’s decision pending a further order to come, either from him or the Supreme Court. Graham filed the emergency application on Friday after a federal appeals court denied his request to block the questioning.
