US EditionFBI Seizure of Georgia Ballots Reflects Pursuit of Trump’s 2020 Election Grievance
Tulsi Gabbard attended the FBI search of Fulton County election materials amid debate over the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's domestic role, officials said.
- On Wednesday, the FBI executed a search warrant at a Fulton County election office, removing hundreds of boxes of ballots while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was onsite.
- Amid a long-running political backdrop, administration officials said Tulsi Gabbard’s presence during the Wednesday raid reflected a key role in election security amid President Donald Trump’s unproven claims targeting Fulton County, Georgia.
- Around midday Wednesday, agents initially presented a sealed search warrant that a judge amended, then resumed after returning with an updated warrant, while county attorneys advised compliance following paperwork review.
- With reactions split along party lines, Democratic officials condemned the search while Republican defenders supported it, and Sen. Mark Warner raised concerns about ODNI's domestic role and its obligation to inform intelligence committees in Congress.
- With courts and monitors already involved, Gabbard's role was unusual given the ODNI's traditional focus on foreign intelligence for the nation's 18 spy agencies, raising broader questions about domestic scope.
