A federal judge scheduled a hearing in Atlanta for next Monday to consider Hice's request that the court block the subpoena.Hice was served last month, with the subpoena calling on him to testify before the grand jury this week.

Willis, a Democrat, recently subpoenaed a slew of Trump allies, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is trying to quash the subpoena and has argued that his role as a lawmaker should shield him from having to testify.Hice is one of Trump's political allies in Georgia and has repeatedly spread misinformation about the 2020 election. He mounted an unsuccessful Trump-backed primary challenge against Raffensperger.
