FBI seizes 650 boxes of Georgia 2020 ballots at Trump's direction

FBI agents executed a federal search warrant on January 28, 2026, seizing more than 650 boxes of ballots and other 2020 election materials from the Fulton County Elections and Operations Hub in Atlanta. The investigation originated from a referral by Kurt Olsen, Trump's presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity, who had previously led legal challenges to Biden's 2020 victory. Federal officials cited potential violations including whether some ballots were scanned and counted multiple times, claims that Georgia state auditors had already investigated and dismissed.
