Gingrich headed to court to duck Jan. 6 grand jury testimony

Raw Story  

According to a report from the Washington Post, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is expected to appear in a court in Fairfax County on Wednesday where he will try and convince a judge to allow him to ignore a demand that he appear before a Georgia grand jury investigating election interference in 2020. As the Post is reporting, Gingrich's name came up in a letter issued by the committee that stated he, ".urged Donald Trump and his team to spread false information about supposed election fraud in Georgia, andthat he was involved in the scheme to have “fake electors” submitted to Congress during the electoral college vote." That letter caught the attention of Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis who convinced a Georgia judge to allow her to compel Gingrich's testimony. Gingrich’s attorneys are asking a Fairfax judge to reject the certificate, saying that the Uniform Act doesn’t cover special grand juries, like the one Willis is using in Fulton County,only regular grand juries."
