The FBI has assigned over 200 staffers to investigate the 2020 presidential election in Georgia’s Fulton County. A memo obtained by The Associated Press calls for the FBI to “surge” 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists to the effort, which it described as a “priority investigation.”
Investigation Details
The investigation is focused on an estimated 708 records, with each staffer tasked with conducting a check by July 17. While the memo does not describe the investigation, people familiar with the matter confirmed the request was to help with the Georgia 2020 election investigation.
In January, FBI agents seized hundreds of boxes containing ballots and other documents related to the 2020 election in Georgia’s most populous county. A Fulton County spokesperson declined to comment, citing a pending investigation.
President Donald Trump and his allies have made claims that widespread election fraud cost him the 2020 election. However, Georgia’s votes in the 2020 presidential race were counted three times, including once by hand, and each count affirmed Democrat Joe Biden’s win.
