Fulton County DA in election probe

An Atlanta-area grand jury investigating former President Donald rump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia has subpoenaed a handful of key rump allies, including his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to court filings.

The subpoenas also cover a handful of rump's other former legal advisers, including John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Cleta Mitchell and Kenneth Chesebro.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been leading the investigation digging into rump's actions in Georgia.

Several state officials have already been subpoenaed and have appeared before the special grand jury.

But the latest raft of subpoenas marks a new phase of grand jury activity that reaches into rump's inner circle. 

 A spokesperson for Graham did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bob Costello, Giuliani's attorney, said he has not yet received a subpoena and declined to comment further.

 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported the subpoenas.
