Republican Rep. Jody Hice subpoenaed in Georgia Trump election probe

Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., is fighting a subpoena to testify before the Georgia special grand jury hearing evidence in an investigation into possible 2020 election interference by former President Donald Trump and others, court papers show.

Hice, a Trump ally who voted to reject the state-certified election results in Georgia and Pennsylvania on Jan. 6, was scheduled to appear before the grand jury on Tuesday, according to documents filed by Hice's lawyer in Georgia federal court. The filing challenges the subpoena from the grand jury assisting the Fulton Co. district attorney's investigation.

“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,” Hice’s attorney Loree Anne Paradise wrote in the filing.

The court filing does not specify what topics the grand jury wants to discuss with Hice.

Would they send it back to the grand jury? Is this a delay tactic?
