Washington — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been subpoenaed as part of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into former President Donald Trump's efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, Raffensperger's office told CBS News.
Raffensperger received the subpoena on Monday. His office declined to comment further. The Washington Post first reported the subpoena.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith last month to oversee the Justice Department's investigation into documents found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and his efforts to retain power after the election, which included pressuring local officials to overturn the results. In a now-infamous Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, Trump asked Raffensperger to "find" the votes he needed in Georgia to secure victory.
