US EditionTrump spoke to some FBI agents who raided Atlanta election office, NYT reports
Tulsi Gabbard, directed by Trump, met FBI agents after the Fulton County raid and connected them by phone, raising concerns about election integrity efforts and political influence.
- On Feb 2, President Donald Trump spoke to some FBI agents a day after they searched a Fulton County election office last week, the New York Times and Reuters reported, citing three people.
- Trump ordered Tulsi Gabbard to take part in last week's FBI raid, and as Director of National Intelligence she is leading the re-examination of the 2020 presidential election, reviewing voting machines and swing-state data.
- Gabbard placed a call that put Trump on speakerphone, who praised and thanked the agents for their work, during a meeting with Atlanta field office agents.
- Legal analysts warn Trump’s personal talks with agents could undermine prosecutions, and defense counsels may cite vindictive prosecution or seek agent testimony at trial.
- The development has intensified concerns about federal interference, with Davis Ingle defending the work, stating `DNI Gabbard and FBI Director Patel are working together to implement the president's election integrity priorities, and their work continues to serve him and the entire country well`.
