Atlanta FBI boss reportedly ousted after questioning DoJ’s renewed interest in 2020 election

AI Summary
The special agent in charge of the FBI's Atlanta field office, Paul W. Brown, was reportedly removed from his position after raising concerns about the Justice Department's renewed investigation into Fulton County, Georgia's role in the 2020 election. Brown reportedly questioned the unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and refused to conduct searches and seizures of election records. His removal occurred shortly before the Justice Department executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office, seizing 700 boxes of records related to the 2020 election. Fulton County officials have defended the integrity of their elections, while the FBI has not commented on the personnel decision. The investigation comes as Donald Trump, who won the 2024 presidential race, continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was rigged against him.
