(ATLANTA) — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has provided testimony to the grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, according to Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB.

Kemp’s testimony was recorded remotely and then presented to the jury Monday, WSB reported.

Evidence from his office was also due to the grand jury Monday.

A spokesperson for Kemp told ABC News, “Out of respect for the grand jury process, we will not provide any comment until the proceedings are complete.”

According to a copy of the subpoena obtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Fulton County district attorney’s office was specifically seeking “any document that explains what former President Trump was thinking or doing or those working on his behalf.”

The subpoena was also seeking “logs of the telephone calls from former President Trump or anyone representing him or his interest,” the AJC reported.

Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, resisted pressure from Trump to “find” enough votes to swing the election in his favor, as the then-president requested during his now-infamous January 2021 phone call.

Kemp’s testimony to the grand jury was delivered on the same day the judge overseeing the probe disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis from investigating one of the state’s 16 alleged “fake electors,” because the DA held a fundraiser for his political opponent. Georgia state Sen.

Burt Jones, currently the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor, was one of the 16 alleged “fake electors” identified last week as a target of the Georgia probe.

The alleged fake electors were said to be part of a Trump campaign effort that assembled “groups of individuals in key battleground states and got them to call themselves electors, created phony certificates associated with these fake electors and then transmitted these certificates to Washington, and to the Congress, to be counted during the joint session of Congress on January 6th,” according to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The grand jury in the Fulton County probe does not have the ability to return an indictment, and can only make recommendations concerning criminal prosecution. Another grand jury would be needed in order to bring any charges.

(WASHINGTON) — Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson, R-Pa., confirmed that he attended his gay son’s wedding on Friday — just days after voting against a bill that would codify federal protections for same-sex marriage.

“Congressman and Mrs. Thompson were thrilled to attend and celebrate their son’s marriage on Friday night as he began this new chapter in his life. The Thompsons are very happy to welcome their new son-in-law into their family,” Thompson spokeswoman Maddison Stone told ABC News in a statement late Monday.

Stone did not directly respond to further questions about Thompson’s attendance in light of his vote on the marriage legislation.

Thompson was one of 157 House Republicans to vote against the proposal last week, which Democrats had pushed following the Supreme Court’s decision to scrap constitutional protections for abortion access.

In a statement to the local newspaper Centre Daily, Stone called the bill “nothing more than an election-year messaging stunt for Democrats in Congress who have failed to address historic inflation and out of control prices at gas pumps and grocery stores.”

The legislation was sparked by Justice Clarence Thomas’s supporting opinion in the ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Thomas wrote that the high court should revisit past decisions protecting same-sex marriage and contraception access.

Forty-seven House Republicans ultimately voted in favor of the marriage bill, and Senate Democrats are trying to cobble together the 10 Republicans they’d need to overcome a filibuster in the upper chamber and send the legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk.

Same-sex marriage has long been a contentious topic for Republicans. The most recent party platform, which was enacted in 2016 and renewed in 2020, states that marriage is between a man and a woman, though polling shows the majority of Americans – including a majority of Republicans – support same-sex marriage.

(WASHINGTON) — The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is in active discussions with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for his testimony behind closed doors, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Pompeo is tentatively scheduled to speak with the committee in the coming days, sources said.

The recent outreach to Pompeo is an indication of the committee’s continuing interest in gathering information and testimony from high-level Trump administration officials as it moves toward the release of a public report on its findings this fall.

A lawyer for Pompeo declined to comment, as did a spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee.

According to Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a top aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Pompeo called Meadows on Jan. 6 to alert him that discussions were happening within the Cabinet about invoking the 25th Amendment as a vehicle to remove Trump from office.

“And from what I understand, it was more of a — this is what I’m hearing, I want you to be aware of it, but I also think it’s worth putting on your radar because you are the chief of staff,” Hutchinson recalled Pompeo telling Meadows in her testimony before the Jan. 6 panel. “You’re technically the boss of all the cabinet secretaries. And you know if the conversations progressed you should be ready to take action on this.”

In his book Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl wrote that Pompeo and then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin discussed the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment. Pompeo has denied that conversation occurred.
