Search Warrant Executed at Fulton County Election Hub On January 28, 2026, FBI agents entered the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Rd in Union City, serving a court‑authorized warrant to obtain records related to the 2020 presidential election [1][2]. The bureau’s spokesperson declined to describe any materials seized, and the county’s public information officer offered no further comment [1]. Director Kash Patel oversaw the operation, linking it to the administration’s intensified focus on election‑related investigations [1][2].

Investigation Tied to Federal 2020 Election Probe The warrant forms part of a broader FBI inquiry into Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 vote, which delivered a decisive win for President Joe Biden in Georgia [2]. Concurrently, the Department of Justice sued clerk Che Alexander, alleging he withheld election documents in violation of the Civil Rights Act and seeking a court order for their release within five days [2]. Georgia’s State Election Board, now with a conservative majority, issued subpoenas for ballots, stubs, and digital files and asked the U.S. attorney general for assistance, signaling renewed state‑level scrutiny [2].

Legal Context of Fani Willis Indictment In August 2023, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis secured an indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 co‑defendants for allegedly conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 results [1][2]. Courts later dismissed the indictment in November 2023, citing an appearance of impropriety linked to Willis’s romantic relationship with a potential witness [2]. The dismissal has not halted ongoing investigations into election‑related conduct, as reflected in the recent FBI search.

Trump’s Ongoing Election Fraud Claims President Trump continues to assert that the 2020 Georgia election was stolen, referencing a recorded call urging the secretary of state to “find” votes and recent remarks that “people will soon be prosecuted” [1][2]. Numerous judges and the Attorney General have found no evidence of widespread fraud capable of altering the outcome [1]. His persistent claims provide a political backdrop for the federal probe and the FBI’s renewed focus on election records.

Agency Responses and Public Silence Fulton County officials declined to comment on the warrant’s scope or any findings, maintaining a standard policy of non‑disclosure during active investigations [1]. The FBI similarly offered no details beyond confirming the execution of the warrant, emphasizing the confidentiality of ongoing law‑enforcement actions [2]. Both agencies stress that the investigation remains active and that further disclosures will follow legal processes.
