A trial court judge has quashed a subpoena issued on Aug. 8 that would have required Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer to testify in a lawsuit she brought to block county prosecutors from enforcing the state’s strict abortion law.

Whitmer, a first-term Democrat seeking reelection in November, filed a motion to quash the subpoena on Aug. 9, claiming that she was too busy to appear at an evidentiary hearing on her case scheduled for Aug. 17.
