The subpoena does not detail why investigators would like to speak with Hice, CNN notes. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was also recently subpoenaed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) to testify regarding 2020 election-related calls he made to both Raffensperger and his staff, and is also fighting the request in federal court in South Carolina. Lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman were among those subpoenaed as well.
