FIRST ON FOX: FBI agents were seen Wednesday carrying out a search at an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, a location that became ground zero for concerns and complaints about voter fraud beginning in 2020.
Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a new facility that state officials opened in 2023 that was designed to streamline their election processes.
It was not immediately clear what the FBI agents were investigating, but Fox News Digital is told the probe is related to the 2020 election.
The bureau said in a statement that FBI Atlanta was executing a "court authorized law enforcement action at 5600 [Campbellton] Fairburn Rd."
"Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that we can provide at the moment," the bureau said.
JUDGE DISMISSES 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST TRUMP
The Department of Justice did not provide comment.
President Donald Trump lost the election in Georgia in 2020 by a wafer-thin margin and claimed various instances of fraud had tainted the results. Those claims did not survive court scrutiny. Fulton, which includes Atlanta and is the state's most populous county, drew significant attention at the time.
A machine count and two recounts confirmed that former President Joe Biden had won the state, leading Trump to feud with Georgia's leaders for years.
The DOJ sued Fulton County last month seeking access to ballots related to the 2020 election. The county is fighting the lawsuit, saying the DOJ has not made a valid argument for accessing them.
Trump's grievances in Georgia were compounded when he and numerous co-conspirators were indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County Superior Court in 2023 over allegations that they engaged in a racketeering scheme involving illegally attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
The case never made it to trial as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from prosecuting it. An independent entity called the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council decided to dismiss the indictment last year, saying it would not be in the interest of the state to continue with the case.
