Report: FBI previously debunked fraud claims used to justify its Fulton County election raid

When the FBI seized 2020 election materials from an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, this January, their extraordinary raid was predicated in part on a report alleging election fraud in the county.

But before the raid, officials within the bureau had already debunked that report, according to a new investigation by ProPublica.

ProPublica’s reporting, published Monday, also revealed closer coordination between the White House and the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the bureau’s criminal investigation into the county than had been previously known.

The revelations are likely to be cited in Fulton County’s ongoing lawsuit to force the DOJ to return the sensitive election records, which included original ballots.
