The Conservative Researcher Being Linked to the FBI’s Seizure of Election Records in Georgia

AI Summary

long article 5 min

Kevin Moncla, a conservative researcher known for his disputed claims of fraud in Fulton County, Georgia's 2020 election, is reportedly linked to the FBI's seizure of election records in late January. Moncla claims to have been interviewed by federal investigators and provided data supporting his complaints to the State Election Board. Activists associated with Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who aided Trump's efforts to overturn the election, allege that the Justice Department used Moncla's research in a lawsuit against Fulton County seeking the same records seized by the FBI. While Moncla denies direct contact with the DOJ, another activist claims to have shared information with them. The DOJ declined to comment on these claims, referring to past statements about investigating election issues.
