Tonight, FBI agents are going through materials found today during a search of the Fulton County Georgia election office. That search is said to be related to the 2020 election. Correspondent David Spott has details tonight. Good evening, David. Brett, good evening. FBI agents are still on site at the records warehouse for the Fulton County Georgia Board of Elections. The matter is sealed before court, meaning details are limited. But we can report this is related to the 2020 presidential election. Sources tell Fox News that agents retrieve documents, phones, and computers after a judge signed a warrant. President Trump has long made Georgia and specifically Fulton County a target of his complaints relating to the 2020 election. Shortly after that election, Trump spoke to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and said he needed 11,780 votes to win the state. At the time, Raffensperger said he felt pressure from Trump and denied any widespread election fraud. He continues to deny it to this day. Now, Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis brought state criminal charges, again, then former President Trump and others in 2023, for conspiracy to overturn the election. But her prosecution, Brett, was eventually derailed completely after it was revealed she had an intimate relationship with a top prosecutor on her team, and it could have tainted the case. Late last year, a judge dismissed the case in its entirety. Now, Brett, last month, the Justice Department sued Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to 2020 voting records after state officials allegedly failed to respond to a subpoena. Fox News has learned the head of the FBI's Atlanta field office was recently forced out in recent days, but it's unclear, Brett, if this is all related.
