The FBI served a search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center in Georgia Wednesday seeking records related to the 2020 elections, a spokesperson for the county said.
The FBI earlier Wednesday said they were conducting court-authorized activity at the facility.
The development comes after President Donald Trump has repeatedly said there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, specifically in Georgia.
“This operation is still actively underway,” the Fulton County spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Last month, the Department of Justice sued Fulton County for access to its 2020 election records, including ballot stubs and signature envelopes.
This past November, a Georgia prosecutor dropped the Fulton County election interference case that was brought in 2023 against Trump and 18 others for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state.
The FBI confirmed there is court authorized activity at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, Jan. 28, 2026.

The charges were brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis following then-President Trump’s Jan. 2, 2021, phone call in which he asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” the votes needed to win the state.
Trump and the other defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges before Willis was disqualified from the case following accusations of impropriety regarding her relationship with a fellow prosecutor.
Trump is now trying to recover $6 million in legal fees from Fulton County following the dropping of the case — a move made possible by a law that was passed by Georgia Republicans in the wake of the case.
