FBI expands Georgia election probe with major analyst surge

The FBI has directed hundreds of intelligence analysts to bolster the Georgia 2020 election probe, with overtime and participation from all field offices, in what officials describe as a priority effort led by Director Kash Patel. The plan calls for tens of thousands of records checks to be completed by mid-July (about 708 checks per analyst), with investigators examining associations, social media, travel, and business activity to uncover derogatory information and build a case related to the Georgia election matter.
