FBI Raids Election Office in Georgia’s Fulton County

HeadlineJan 29, 2026

The FBI raided the election office in Georgia’s Fulton County Wednesday, seeking computers and ballots related to the 2020 election. Reuters confirmed that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard visited the site of the search. President Trump continues to falsely claim that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespread voting fraud, and has repeatedly targeted Fulton County officials. The FBI raid comes a week after Trump vowed on social media that “people will soon be prosecuted for what they did,” in reference to the 2020 election. In response to the FBI raid, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff said, “After losing Georgia in 2020, Donald Trump demanded state officials 'find' votes to change the outcome, tried to use DOJ to overturn it, and spread conspiracy theories that led to the Jan. 6 sacking of the U.S. Capitol. I suspect today’s raid is a continuation of this sore loser’s crusade, despite repeated audits and independent reviews confirming that Donald Trump was indeed defeated.”
