Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he would "gladly participate" in an interview with the Fulton County district attorney with regards to the ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump.

Multiple investigations were opened against the former president following his attempts to pressure elected officials to alter the 2020 election results. In an infamous phone call to Raffensperger, Trump asked the Georgia official to "find" 11,780 votes to overturn the election.

"We've fully complied, sent all the documents that we had, and she actually talked to some of our staff members," Raffensperger told NBC's Chuck Todd on Sunday, referring to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

"If she wants to interview me, there's a process for that, and I will gladly participate in that because I want to make sure that I follow the law and follow the constitution," Raffensperger continued. "When you get a grand jury summons, you respond to it."

Todd asked Raffensperger if he believes the investigation by Willis is "legitimate."

"I'm an engineer, not a lawyer, and so I'll let her follow that process and let her bring it before the people," Raffensperger responded.

He went on to confirm that he is running for reelection as secretary of state.

"I did my job. I followed the law, followed the constitution," Raffensperger said.
