The latest news on the Fulton County FBI raid

Fulton County is fighting back.
County officials announced Wednesday they had filed a motion in federal court to retrieve hundreds of boxes of 2020 ballots seized in an FBI raid last week and asked the judge to unseal the case to reveal what evidence the U.S. Department of Justice used to justify the raid.
Currently, the case — and Fulton’s motion — remain under seal, but there is some suggestion that Justice Department attorneys may have relied on the word of civilian election skeptics who have long doubted that President Donald Trump fairly lost Georgia in 2020. A co-author of a report questioning those results said a Justice Department attorney interviewed him a couple of weeks before the raid, and he said another co-author also talked.
Fulton officials said they still don’t know where the ballots are being kept and one Democratic state lawmaker worried that the Trump administration was trying to decipher how Georgians voted by looking at the records — although that is highly unlikely.
