FBI redirects hundreds of analysts to examine Fulton County's 2020 election records

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reassigning hundreds of analysts to assist with an ongoing investigation into Fulton County’s 2020 election records, according to an internal memo first obtained by MS NOW. The case is a “priority effort” for FBI Director Kash Patel.

Roughly 260 intelligence officers will be directed to the case from all FBI field offices, MS Now is reporting. Each analyst will be expected to check a total of 708 records by July 17. The memo authorized weekend and holiday overtime pay, according to MS NOW.

The FBI’s Atlanta office declined to comment.

The surge in personnel signals an increasing emphasis on an ongoing investigation into Fulton County, which was at the center of President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen due to rampant voter fraud in Georgia and other swing states. Two recounts, including one done by hand, affirmed former President Joe Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia.
