"The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is executing a search warrant at a Fulton County election office in Georgia related to the 2020 United States election, an agency spokesperson said. An FBI spokesperson said agents were executing a court-authorised law enforcement action at the county's main election office in Union City, just south of Atlanta. The spokesperson declined to provide any further information, citing an ongoing matter."
"FBI agents were spotted entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, said Fox News, which first reported the search of a new facility that state officials opened in 2023. The probe concerns the 2020 election, in which Republican Donald Trump, the current US president, lost to the former US president, Democrat Joe Biden, the official said. The search comes as the FBI, under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, has moved quickly to pursue the political grievances of Trump,"
The FBI executed a court-authorized search warrant at Fulton County's main election office in Union City, Georgia, citing an ongoing matter and declining to provide further information. Agents were observed entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a facility opened by state officials in 2023. The probe concerns the 2020 presidential election in which Republican Donald Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden. The action occurred as the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, has moved quickly to pursue grievances of Trump and worked with the Justice Department to investigate perceived adversaries. The Justice Department and county external affairs office did not immediately comment. Fulton County, a Democratic-leaning area home to Atlanta, backed Biden by a wide margin in 2020, and Trump previously pressured state officials to alter results and sought $6.2 million in legal fees this month.
