FBI searches Fulton County elections office
-
FBI agents were executing a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office near Atlanta on Wednesday, an agency spokesperson confirmed.
An FBI spokesperson said agents were "executing a court authorized law enforcement action" at the county's main election office in Union City, just south of Atlanta. The spokesperson declined to provide any further information, citing an ongoing matter.
The search comes as the FBI under the leadership of Director Kash Patel has moved quickly to pursue the political grievances of President Donald Trump, including by working with the Justice Department to investigate multiple perceived adversaries of the Republican commander-in-chief.
The Justice Department had no immediate comment.
A spokesperson for Fulton County did not immediately have a comment or any information on the search.
