The Federal Bureau of Immigration (FBI) executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office in Georgia on Wednesday, an agency spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press.

According to the spokesperson, agents were “executing a court-authorized law enforcement action” at the county's main election office in Union City near Atlanta.

President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted in August 2023 by District Attorney Fani Willis over their attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state. Charges included plotting fake state electors and pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" votes.

Willis was removed from the case in 2025 due to an "appearance of impropriety" stemming from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had appointed to lead the case.

The case was transferred to another prosecutor before being dismissed in November 2025. Trump asked a judge earlier this month to order the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office to pay more than $6.2 million in legal fees.

Trump has long insisted the 2020 election against former President Joe Biden was stolen, even though no evidence has been found to prove otherwise.

In December, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department sued Fulton County and its Clerk of Court to obtain records related to the 2020 election. The DOJ claims it needs them to ensure compliance with federal election law.
