The FBI orders 260 intelligence analysts from field offices nationwide to surge to Atlanta to support a priority probe of the 2020 Fulton County election results, with overtime and weekend work authorized to review thousands of records by mid-July.The operation follows a search earlier this year that seized more than 600 boxes of ballots, machine tapes, ballot images and voter rolls after a referral from White House official Kurt Olsen and in the wake of fraud claims pushed by Donald Trump that recounts and officials rejected.The inquiry, overseen by
FBI Director
Kash Patel, runs license-plate checks, phone analysis and social-media and business reviews; a judge called the Justice Department's stated rationale for the Fulton search misleading,
Tulsi Gabbard accompanied agents, and
DOJ officials deny the probe is politically motivated.
