FBI Searches Fulton County Election Office Amid Ongoing Scrutiny
The FBI conducted a search of the Fulton County election office outside of Atlanta on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. According to Fulton County officials, the search warrant was related to records from the 2020 election.
The FBI confirmed it was executing a "court authorized law enforcement action," but did not provide further details. The Department of Justice announced last month that it was suing Fulton County for records related to the 2020 election, according to NPR News.
The search comes amid continued scrutiny of the 2020 election results, which President Trump narrowly lost in Georgia.

Also this week, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who represents Minneapolis in Congress, was attacked at a town hall on Tuesday by a man who sprayed an unknown liquid on her with a syringe, according to Vox. President Trump is refusing to tone down his rhetoric after the attack.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is still grappling with the impact of a brutal winter storm that swept across the country over the weekend. Forecasts indicate another storm could soon slam parts of the East Coast. A winter storm is expected to form off the coast of the Carolinas on Saturday before potentially intensifying into a bomb cyclone, according to Time. The sudden pressure drop in such storms can cause intense winter weather conditions, such as blizzards, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. The coming storm is not anticipated to be nearly as widespread or intense as the last one.
