CBSN
Republican Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia has been subpoenaed to appear before a special grand jury in his state investigating former President Donald Trump's behavior after losing the 2020 election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis issued the subpoena on June 29, and Hice revealed its existence in a filing in state court on Monday, informing a judge that he is challenging the order in federal court. In his federal filing, Hice argued that his "inquiries into alleged irregularities" in the 2020 presidential election fell within his authority as a member of Congress.
The subpoena had requested Hice's appearance before the special grand jury on Tuesday. The special grand jury was impaneled in May following more than a year of investigation by Willis' office.
