Cultist Rep Challenges Subpoena From GA Grand Jury

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

U.S. Rep. Jody Hice on Monday became the second member of Congress to challenge a subpoena issued by the Fulton County special grand jury examining Georgia’s 2020 elections. But unlike U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who plans to cite the Constitution’s “Speech or Debate” clause before a federal judge on Wednesday in an attempt to quash his subpoena, Hice is opting for a different legal strategy.

A lawyer for Hice filed a motion in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday seeking to remove the matter to federal court.  “Since Congressman Hice is a member of the United States House of Representatives and is being asked to testify pursuant to a state-issued subpoena, the federal officer removal statute should apply, and this action should therefore be removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia,” the motion argues.
