Federal probes expand into California elections with FBI involvement

Federal prosecutors, led by Bill Essayli, say multiple election-fraud investigations are underway in California, coordinated with the FBI, with one prosecutor observed at a Los Angeles ballot-processing site. President Trump asserted cheating by Democrats, a claim California officials and Democrats reject while defending the integrity of the mail-ballot system and the careful counting process. The DOJ is also pursuing a voter-roll audit with the Civil Rights Division amid ongoing election-law actions.
