Georgia County seeks return of more than 650 boxes seized in 2020 election raid

Fulton County, Georgia, asks a federal court to return more than 650 boxes of 2020 election materials seized from its elections office by the FBI under a search warrant, arguing the seizure violated Fourth Amendment rights and should be kept for safekeeping pending the dispute. U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul Boulee will hear the case on Friday after previously denying a quest to compel FBI testimony; the DOJ says the county seeks to disrupt an ongoing federal investigation into election-record maintenance and potential irregularities.
