Fulton County Seeks Return of 2020 Election Records Seized by FBI
Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, have filed a court challenge to retrieve election records seized by federal agents from a warehouse. The records, which include ballots and other materials from the 2020 presidential election, were taken as part of a criminal investigation into potential violations of federal laws regarding election records. The county's motion, filed under seal, also requests the unsealing of the investigative affidavit used to obtain the search warrant. Robb Pitts, chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, emphasized the importance of this case for the integrity of elections nationwide. The FBI's search is part of a broader investigation into election integrity, with the involvement of high-profile officials such as the FBI's deputy director and the director of national intelligence.
