WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation is executing a search warrant at a Fulton County election office in Georgia related to the 2020 election, a law enforcement official familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

FBI agents were spotted entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, said Fox News, which first reported the search of a new facility that state officials opened in 2023.

The probe is related to the 2020 election, which Republican President Donald Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden, the official said.

Literally outside of FBIs purview. Fed has no right to election oversight at all.

The most incompetent administration in the history of the world.
