The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the Fulton County Board of Elections in Georgia on the 28th, local media reported.
Fulton County officials, which manage election records, said in a statement that the FBI is “currently searching the Board’s custody for records related to the 2020 election.”
Local media outlet WSB TV reported that FBI agents were transporting 700 boxes of documents. The outlet also reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey are expected to arrive on the scene soon. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who oversees elections in Georgia, was not notified in advance of the raid and has yet to comment.
President Trump has consistently claimed that there was election fraud in Georgia since the 2020 presidential election, when it appeared that he lost to then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden by over 11,000 votes. He even called Secretary of State Raffensperger, who was overseeing the elections at the time, demanding that he find that many votes.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office indicted Trump and 19 campaign officials in 2023 on charges of election interference and obstruction, but the case was dismissed in 2025 after Trump’s re-election when prosecutors withdrew the charges.
