US EditionTrump spoke to some FBI agents who raided Atlanta election office, NYT reports
Tulsi Gabbard attended the FBI's seizure of 700 ballot boxes during a criminal inquiry into 2020 election fraud claims at Trump's direction, sparking bipartisan scrutiny.
- On Feb 2, President Donald Trump spoke to some FBI agents a day after they searched a Fulton County election office last week, the New York Times and Reuters reported, citing three people.
- Trump ordered Tulsi Gabbard to take part in last week's FBI raid, and as Director of National Intelligence she is leading the re-examination of the 2020 presidential election, reviewing voting machines and swing-state data.
- Gabbard placed a call that put Trump on speakerphone, who praised and thanked the agents for their work, during a meeting with Atlanta field office agents.
- Legal analysts warn Trump’s personal talks with agents could undermine prosecutions, and defense counsels may cite vindictive prosecution or seek agent testimony at trial.
- The development has intensified concerns about federal interference, with Davis Ingle defending the work, stating `DNI Gabbard and FBI Director Patel are working together to implement the president's election integrity priorities, and their work continues to serve him and the entire country well`.
