A state appeals court ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath. The Fulton County District Attorney is stepping up the pace of her investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who won a surprise victory against a Trump-backed opponent in Tuesday's Republican primary, is slated to be one of the lead witnesses when he appears before the grand jury next Wednesday, sources confirmed to Yahoo. One lawyer representing a client who has been contacted by the team of investigators and prosecutors said that it looks like it's full steam ahead. There have been no signs that prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice or the New York district attorney are preparing to bring criminal charges against Trump. A team of about 10 prosecutors and agents have been assembled by her. A source familiar with the probe said that a group of them flew to Washington to meet with investigators from the Jan. 6 committee, who shared details from confidential witness testimony and other material relevant to Trump's efforts to flip Georgia's 16 electoral votes. Initially, he was expected to focus on Trump's phone call to Raffensperger in which he urged him to change the results of the election. According to sources familiar with the investigation, agents and prosecutors are trying to establish that Trump's phone call was part of a larger conspiracy. Jeff DiSantis said that the process of hearing from witnesses would start on June 1. He didn't comment further. In recent weeks, the team, including an outside special counsel and at least four prosecutors and investigators, has interviewed witnesses about efforts by Georgia Republican lawmakers to appoint an alternative slate of electors who would certify Trump as the winner of the state's electoral votes. They questioned legislators who sat for a series of hearings in which Rudy Giuliani made false statements about a video he claimed showed evidence of voter fraud. State officials and the FBI had already discredited that assertion. Elena Parent, a Democratic state senator who attended the hearings, told Yahoo News that she received a subpoena to testify before the grand jury on June 22. A copy of the subpoena was shared by a parent. Parent said the team led by Nathan Wade, a private lawyer and friend of Willis, questioned her about how Giuliani came to appear before the committees. Parent said that they wanted to know about everything that happened with the hearings. She said they received vile death threats after she made comments at the hearing and after she posted a joke about Giuliani. Parent had noted in a Dec. 3, 2020, post that the office of Raffensperger had already explained how Biden had won the state's electoral votes. In order to not be accused of trying to interfere in the election, Willis had promised to hold off on subpoenaing witnesses before Georgia's primary. On Tuesday, the state's primary voting ended and Raffensperger won with 52 percent of the vote, avoiding a run-off. Multiple Georgia state officials, including Governor Brian Kemp and others in Raffensperger's office, are bracing for what will happen next week. A witness who has been contacted by the team of investigators told to expect a subpoena in the next few weeks. There are signs that there will be legal challenges. Republican lawmakers have refused requests to sit for voluntary interviews and have hired an outside counsel who is expected to raise challenges to any subpoenas on the grounds that they have legislative immunity barring them from being questioned about their official actions. The Atlanta Journal Constitution's political reporter, Greg Bluestein, was told to expect a subpoena by the Willis office. Bluestein was a witness to the events of December 14, 2020, when the Georgia Republican Party led a effort to appoint an alternate slate of electors that were pledged to Trump despite Biden's victory in the state. Bluestein wrote that he tried to attend the meeting after being told it was an education meeting, but he was blocked from doing so because it was an education meeting. Legal experts expect lawyers for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to challenge the subpoena. The core of the case is likely to be the phone call from Trump to Raffensperger. He never wavered from his position that there was no evidence of fraud that would change the results of the 2020 election, even though he sought to court conservative Trump voters by promising to fight for a constitutional amendment that would bar non-citizens from voting. In his victory speech, he made clear that he came under improper pressure from Trump and that he would not allow it to happen again. He said that the investigation wouldn't have changed the results of the race. Standing for the truth is what people want.
