US EditionFulton County, Ga., officials say DOJ lied about elections office raid
Fulton County alleges the Justice Department misled a judge to seize 700 boxes of 2020 election materials without probable cause, seeking their return in federal court.
- On January 28, federal agents executed a raid at Fulton County, Georgia's election facilities, seizing about 700 boxes of ballots and records in a probe overseen by Tulsi Gabbard.
- Fulton County officials say the Department of Justice affidavit omitted exculpatory facts, relied on a referral from Kurt Olsen, former Trump campaign attorney, and described routine election errors rather than criminal acts.
- Elections expert Ryan Macias testified the affidavit contains `gross mischaracterizations` and cites absence of scanned images for all 527,925 ballots despite prior state probes, while the filing notes minor recount differences deemed non-determinative.
- Fulton County seeks immediate return of seized ballots, voter rolls, digital ballot images, and tabulator tapes, alleging the warrant was an unconstitutional Fourth Amendment violation.
- The federal investigation continues into the 2020 election, with Democrats criticizing the Department of Justice for targeting Fulton County, Georgia, amid claims of a potential conspiracy.
