My understanding is that the target of an investigation is not required to testify before a Grand Jury, but has the right to do so. He/she may interrupt testimony to consult with counsel in an adjoining room, and may refuse to answer questions on advice of counsel. Because such refusals to answer become part of the record of Grand Jury proceedings, most targets choose not to testify. Only if counsel recommends testifying to perhaps convince the Grand Jury that there is exculpatory evidence does a target generally testify in a GJ proceeding.
