What Meetings Among Trump Lawyers Reveal About the FBI’s Seizure of Election Records in Georgia

AI Summary

long article 6 min

Missouri prosecutor Thomas Albus has participated in meetings with lawyers appointed by President Donald Trump to reinvestigate the 2020 election results in Georgia. The meetings, which took place since last fall, involved Ed Martin, a Justice Department lawyer who led an investigation into alleged "weaponization" of the department against Trump and his allies, and Kurt Olsen, a White House lawyer tasked with investigating election integrity. Albus has been granted special authority to handle election-related cases nationwide by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. The meetings reveal details about preparations for the January FBI raid on Fulton County, which was seen as an escalation of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The purpose and outcome of the meetings are unclear due to the lawyers' refusal to comment.
