Trump says Georgia FBI raid will determine 'true winner' of state in 2020

The FBI seized over 650 boxes of ballots and election records in a probe driven by claims of 2020 election fraud, sparking legal battles over access to the materials.

  • On January 28, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County election center in Union City, seizing more than 650 boxes of 2020 ballots and election records.
  • After civil requests failed, the Trump administration sought a sealed criminal warrant, which Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington described as `This was just an end-around to the civil proceedings that they filed,' Arrington said.
  • Officials say a senior intelligence figure attended the Fulton County operation and was later praised by the president, who called Gabbard and agents the next day at the Atlanta field office.
  • Democrats and voting-rights experts warn the raid could justify a takeover of Fulton County election operations, while Fulton County has sued to recover seized files and unseal the affidavit.
  • With the 2026 midterms approaching, analysts warn Georgia could be ground zero for election fights as the probe stems from a conservative activists' 263-page report recycling disproven claims.
