Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been subpoenaed in the Justice Department’s investigation into the US Capitol attack and efforts by former President Donald Trump and his supporters to undermine the 2020 presidential election results.
Raffensperger’s office received a subpoena from the Justice Department’s newly-appointed special counsel overseeing the Jan. 6 probe, John L. “Jack” Smith. The subpoena directs the Georgia official to appear at the federal courthouse in Washington on Dec. 29 to testify before a grand jury or, alternatively, to simply turn over all of the subpoenaed records to the FBI, according to a copy of the document viewed by Bloomberg.
