Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) has filed a motion to quash a subpoena for him to testify before a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, about whether former President Donald Trump and others attempted to illegally interfere in the state’s 2020 elections.

The motion, filed on July 18, argues that discussions Hice had during his investigation of alleged election irregularities were within his authority as a member of Congress and are shielded by the Constitution from any legal inquiry or proceedings.
