Gov. Nathan Deal has asked a judge to toss a subpoena seeking his testimony for an upcoming trial concerning allegations by the former head of the state’s ethics panel that she was fired in retaliation for looking into Deal’s campaign finances.
According to a motion to quash filed Monday by the office of Attorney General Sam Olens, Deal was subpoenaed on March 5 to appear and be ready to testify when trial begins March 31 in the case, which was brought by Stacey Kalberman, the former executive director of what was then known as the State Ethics Commission.
