"The affidavit, written by FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans, led to a judge signing off on a search warrant of Fulton County's elections hub, just outside Atlanta. The FBI executed that search warrant on Jan. 28, seizing more than 650 boxes of ballots and other 2020 election materials. The affidavit relies on misleading and already-disproven claims about the 2020 election. Fulton County's 2020 ballots were counted three separate times, with the results affirmed."
""This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws," the affidavit reads. "The FBI criminal investigation originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity." Olsen played an integral role in Trump's failed efforts to overturn his narrow 2020 election defeat by challenging the results in Georgia and other swing states."

The affidavit identifies a referral from Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity, as the origin of the FBI probe and notes Olsen's role in efforts to challenge the 2020 results. The affidavit focuses on five alleged election deficiencies, including claims about missing scanned ballot images that state officials investigated and found unsubstantiated, while certified counts were conducted three times and affirmed.
