"Now that he's president again, Trump is pushing the federal government to back up those bogus claims. On Wednesday, the FBI served a search warrant at the election headquarters of Fulton County, Georgia, which includes most of Atlanta, seeking ballots from the 2020 election. That follows Trump's comments earlier this month when he suggested during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that charges related to the election were imminent."
"FBI agents are seen at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, in Union City, Ga, near Atlanta. "The man has obsessions, as do a fair number of people, but he's the only one who has the full power of the United States behind him," said Rick Hasen, a UCLA law professor. Hasen and many others noted that Trump's use of the FBI to pursue his obsession with the 2020 election is part of a pattern of the president transforming the federal government into his personal tool of vengeance."
Donald Trump continues to assert that the 2020 election was marred by widespread fraud and is pushing the federal government to validate those false claims. The FBI executed a search warrant at Fulton County election headquarters seeking 2020 ballots, following Trump remarks suggesting imminent charges related to the election. Legal scholars and lawmakers described the action as evidence of a pattern in which the president wields federal power to pursue personal grievances. Critics warned the move demonstrates politicization of federal law enforcement ahead of the 2026 midterms and compared it to other high-profile federal actions.
