The FBI has searched an election office outside Atlanta, Georgia, pursuing US President Donald Trump’s false claims that his 2020 election defeat was the ​result of widespread voting fraud. The warrant “sought a number of records related to 2020 elections”, the Fulton County government said in a brief statement. The FBI search comes a week after Donald Trump foreshadowed prosecutions over the 2020 election. The Democratic-leaning county is home to Atlanta, Georgia’s biggest city, and backed Biden by a wide margin in ​the 2020 election. Trump unsuccessfully sought to overturn the 2020 election result, pressuring Georgia’s top election official to “find” votes that would allow him to claim victory.
