On Wednesday, FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Fulton County elections office in Union City, near Atlanta. An FBI spokesperson confirmed the action but declined to provide further details, citing an ongoing investigation. The search occurs amid claims that the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, is pursuing President Trump's political grievances. The Justice Department and Fulton County officials have not yet commented. This event follows Trump's repeated insistence that the 2020 election was stolen and his focus on Georgia as a target for election complaints. It also comes after the dismissal of a case led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis against Trump and 18 others related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, and the recent replacement of the FBI's top agent in Atlanta.
