US EditionAP: FBI Seizure of Georgia Ballots Reflects Pursuit of Trump’s 2020 Election Grievance
FBI seized ballots, tabulator tapes, and voter rolls from Fulton County election center to investigate claims of 2020 election interference amid ongoing legal battles, officials said.
- FBI agents at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, Union City, Georgia, executed a federal search warrant Wednesday, removing hundreds of boxes of 2020 presidential election records.
- The search follows repeated claims from President Donald Trump that the 2020 result was fraudulent, despite audits and courts rejecting these claims, while Trump allies pressured Democratic-run Fulton County for voter data.
- U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was seen onsite during the raid, an unprecedented role that national security experts sharply questioned; Michael Feinberg said, `It doesn't pass the laugh test for anybody who's actually worked in this world. And there's a couple reasons for that`.
- Top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees demanded briefings and asked Tulsi Gabbard to explain her participation, while Fulton County election board and officials said they were denied requests to preserve copies, raising concerns about politicizing enforcement.
- The development could deepen distrust in elections, with experts noting the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Justice Department risk politicizing law enforcement and undermining voter confidence this year.
