Tap title to read story
Atlanta — The FBI executed a Jan. 28 search warrant at Fulton County election offices, seizing more than 650 boxes of 2020 ballots and related materials after an affidavit cited allegations of electoral impropriety. The affidavit, unsealed Tuesday this week, says the probe began with a referral from Kurt Olsen, an administration official who worked on President Trump's post-2020 legal challenges. The documents cite longstanding claims of fraud that audits, state officials, courts and former Justice Department reviews have rejected. The department says investigators are examining whether any intentional acts violated federal law. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
