FBI Searches Georgia Election Center Amid 2020 Voting Probe
Director of National Intelligence - 101
About
The Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant on Wednesday at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center in Georgia, seeking records related to the 2020 presidential election. According to CBS News, agents targeted hundreds of boxes of ballots stored there, loading them into trucks as part of a court authorized action investigating potential violations of federal election laws. These laws cover intimidating voters through fraudulent ballots or failing to retain election records for twenty two months.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appeared at the scene late Wednesday alongside Deputy FBI Director Andrew Bailey and other top Trump administration officials. A senior administration official told CBS News that Director Gabbard has a pivotal role in election security, protecting voting systems, databases, and election infrastructure from interference. Her presence underscores the federal focus on safeguarding election integrity, amid ongoing probes into past irregularities.
The operation stems from long standing claims by President Trump that the 2020 election was rigged, particularly in Democratic stronghold Fulton County, home to Atlanta. CBS News reports the search warrant was signed by US Magistrate Judge Catherine Salinas and listed Justice Department lawyer Thomas Albus. Fulton County officials confirmed the FBI sought ballots under seal by the clerk of courts, requiring inventory for chain of custody.
Local Democrats criticized the raid. Fulton County Board Chairman Robb Pitts said he could no longer certify the ballots security. Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff called it a sore losers crusade, despite prior audits confirming results. Senator Mark Warner questioned Gabbards involvement, suggesting it either ignores legal reporting duties or politicizes the intelligence community.
The FBI stated the investigation is ongoing and declined further details. This development highlights renewed scrutiny on 2020 election practices in a key battleground state.
