Gov. Brian Kemp testified before the Fulton County grand jury Monday.

The grand jury is investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere with the results of the 2020 general election in Georgia, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Kemp testified via video and gave his take on what happened in the wake of the 2020 election.

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

A copy of the subpoena obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution states the Fulton County district attorney's office was looking for "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.

This comes as Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, began her investigation early last year as a special grand jury with subpoena power was seated at her request in May. At that time, she outlined plans for her team to investigate “any coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections in this state,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Since the investigation began, Willis has confirmed her team is looking into a January 2021 phone call where Trump allegedly urged Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to throw out what Trump considered fraudulent votes following his election defeat.

Willis said she is also looking into a November 2020 phone call between Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta in January 2021 and comments made during the December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings about the election, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Kemp is the latest high-ranking official to go before the grand jury, joining House Speaker David Ralston, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, Raffensperger and his deputy Gabe Sterling, as well as Kemp's reelection communication director, Cody Hall.

In a report by WJCL, Legal Analyst, Rory Riley-Topping, emphasized the rarity of a sitting governor testifying against a former president in his own political party, stating after his testimony Kemp may struggle to connect with Republican voters.

“This is a tricky situation for him because if the primary voters that voted for Perdue decide they can’t support him in the general election, perhaps they don’t show up, perhaps they don’t vote at all,” Riley-Topping told WJCL. “It’s likely that some will say a vote for Kemp is better than a vote for Democrats.”
