JUST IN: Fulton County DA Fani Willis says any further delay in Sen. Lindsey Graham's testimony could "delay the

BREAKING: Federal judge has *denied* Sen. Graham's effort to stay the ruling requiring him to testify to the Fulton County grand jury on Aug. 23. Now the question of a stay rests with the appeals court, which received Graham's case yesterday.
Judge Leigh Martin May does not seem thrilled with Graham's effort to pick apart her ruling.
The Judge's point is that not every aspect the DA wants to question Graham about could conceivably be protected by the Speech or Debate clause — including whether Graham coordinated his phone calls to GA officials with the Trump campaign.
Judge agrees that delaying Graham's testimony could be a significant hindrance to the overall grand jury investigation.
NOTABLE: In Graham's motion to stay the lower court ruling, his attorney says the DA's office had verbally promised to postpone his grand jury appearance pending appeal. He says they didn't tell him until 4:40 a.m. today that they were changing course.
