NEWS: Federal judge in Georgia quashes DOJ grand jury subpoena seeking information about election workers who volunteered or worked during the 2020 election in Fulton County. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
IV.
CONCLUSION
The subpoena power of the Grand Jury is broad, but it is not absolute. If it
were, the Supreme Court could simply say so, which it has not. Given the low need
for the subpoenaed information and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure
of the same, the Subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed pursuant to Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(a)(2).
Based on the foregoing, Fulton County's Motion to Quash Grandy Jury
Subpoena [Doc. 1] is GRANTED and the United States of America's Cross-Motion
27
Case 1:26-cv-02777-WMR
Document 37 Filed 07/07/26
Page 28 of 28
to Enforce Grand Jury Subpoena [Doc. 10] is DENIED. Accordingly, the Subpoena
(Subpoena No. 2026R00350-01) [Doc. 1-1] is QUASHED and Fulton County is
under no obligation to comply. Fulton County's request [Doc. 34] for access to the
materials included in United States' Motion for In Camera Review [Doc. 32] is
TERMINATED AS MOOT. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED TO
TERMINATE this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of July, 2026.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it. And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE? Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.
Because the provision is retroactive to 2022, it would appear to make eligible the eight lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed by investigators for Mr. Smith as he examined efforts by Donald J. Trump to obstruct the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Each violation would be worth at least $500,000 in any legal claim, according to the bill language. The bill would also sharply limit the way the government could resist such a claim, taking away any government claims of qualified or sovereign immunity to fight a lawsuit over the issue.

The Republican senators whose phone records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation were: Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming. Representative Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania also had his phone records subpoenaed but would not be eligible because he is a member of the House.
