FBI defends Fulton County election hub raid, citing probable cause
TL;DR
FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators had probable cause for the Fulton County raid on a 2020 election hub, with a judge-authorized search that targeted physical ballots, tabulator tapes, electronic ballot images, and voter rolls as part of an ongoing investigation. The operation, which also drew attention for DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence, comes amid ongoing Trump-related election-fraud discourse and prior Georgia cases connected to the 2020 results, including a case that was dismissed in 2025. Patel stressed the FBI follows facts and the law, and that significant material is still under review.
