The FBI has assigned 260 investigative analysts to assist with its ongoing investigation into the fraud that took place in Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 presidential election.
According to an internal FBI memorandum obtained by The New York Times, the analysts have been tasked with completing approximately 708 records checks by July 17th.
The memo describes the operation as a priority for FBI Director Kash Patel. The specific records under review have not been disclosed.
The expanded effort follows the FBI’s raid on a Fulton County election warehouse.
Back in January, federal agents seized more than 600 boxes of election materials, including original 2020 ballots, as part of a Justice Department investigation.
No criminal charges have been filed and federal authorities have released few details about the scope of the investigation.
The FBI and Fulton County officials have so far declined to comment on the latest developments.
