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.
