FBI orders 260 staffers to Georgia to assist with 2020 election investigation

The FBI has requested over 200 staffers from its field offices nationwide to assist with a "priority investigation" into the 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County. A memo obtained by the Associated Press details a call to "surge" 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists to the effort, with each tasked to review approximately 708 records by July 17. This request follows FBI agents seizing hundreds of boxes containing ballots and election-related documents in January. While the memo doesn't specify the investigation's nature, sources confirmed it relates to the Georgia 2020 election. The Justice Department has previously stated it is investigating "irregularities" in the county during the 2020 presidential election.
