Judge Rules Kemp Must Testify in Trump Probe

Facts

On Mon., Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was ordered to testify to Fulton County DA Fani Willis' grand jury investigating possible attempts by former Pres. Trump and his colleagues to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Judge Robert McBurney rejected Kemp's motion to quash the subpoena, ruling that sovereign immunity doesn't apply as Willis' investigation is criminal, not civil in nature. He also postponed Kemp's appearance until after the November election.
According to a previous court filing, Willis' office is soliciting Kemp's testimony to inquire about alleged pressure he faced after he denied Trump's claims of election fraud.
Willis' investigation started after the disclosure of a phone call between Trump and Ga. Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, about Trump's allegations of voter fraud in the state.
The case has since widened to subpoena more than 10 high-profile Trump confidantes, including lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
Willis accepted the delay in Kemp's testimony and acknowledged the grand jury is "60% through" hearing from witnesses. She hopes to have completed the grand jury by the end of the year.

Democratic narrative, as provided by Slate. Despite his attempt to wiggle out of this, the judge has rightly ruled that Kemp isn't above the law. The delay in his testimony might help Kemp politically, but eventually, he's going to have to dish on Trump and the grand jury will have more proof of the former president's criminal activity.
Pro-Trump narrative, as provided by Townhall. This illegitimate, weaponized prosecution is merely an attempt to swing the polls before the midterms this fall, and suppress future criticism of elections. The First Amendment protects everyone's – even Trump's – right to question results when they suspect fraud.
