The FBI has reportedly fired two intelligence analysts after they refused to participate in the bureau’s investigation into Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
According to multiple reports, the Atlanta-based analysts, a husband and wife, told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified and declined to work on the case.
They were reportedly escorted from the FBI office after refusing the assignment.
The FBI did not confirm the firings but defended its decision.
“The FBI will always investigate credible allegations of matters related to federal elections,” an FBI spokesperson said.
“Every employee at this FBI is to uphold our mission and adhere to our standards, any deviation will not be tolerated.”
Earlier this month, the FBI 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.
