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.
In its order last week, the 11th Circuit panel agreed with the lower-court judge that those actions “could not qualify as legislative activities under any understanding of Supreme Court precedent.” Two of the three judges on the panel were nominated by Trump.Willis wrote that Graham’s petition to the Supreme Court “ignores the lower courts’ holdings demonstrating that his rights are not in danger, much less at risk of ‘irreparable harm.
If the Supreme Court grants Graham’s request, the district attorney wrote, the delay would ensure “that information which could either clear the innocent of suspicion or increase scrutiny on the guilty will continue to lie beyond the Grand Jury’s grasp.”Tom Hamburger contributed to this report.
