Overview
- Agents executed a court-authorized warrant at the Fulton County operations center in Union City, removing roughly 700 boxes tied to the 2020 election.
- Investigators sought computers and ballots as potential evidence, and the seized materials were moved to federal custody, reportedly to an FBI facility in Virginia.
- The operation follows Justice Department lawsuits seeking access to sealed 2020 ballots and related materials that local officials had refused to release without a judge’s order.
- National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard appeared at the site, an unusual step a former official called unprecedented.
- Local officials and Democrats denounced the action as politically driven and raised chain-of-custody concerns, while prior audits and a hand recount had confirmed Joe Biden’s win in Georgia.
