GA Sec Of State May Testify Publicly Before Riot Panel

June 9, 2022 Politics, Republicans

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is in talks with the Jan. 6 committee to testify publicly, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

Raffensperger, a Republican and Georgia’s top elections official, withstood pressure from then-President Donald Trump, in a now-infamous Jan. 2, 2021 call, to “find” enough votes to ensure the president’s victory in the state, and he vigorously defended the integrity of Georgia’s election.

The Georgia Republican was subpoenaed to appear, along with top deputy Gabriel Sterling, according to a person familiar with the situation. They received “friendly” subpoenas for their testimony, meaning they were willing to testify but needed legal compulsion to do so.
