Tulsi Gabbard under scrutiny for showing up at FBI raid of Georgia election hub

The FBI seized roughly 700 boxes including all 2020 ballots and records; county officials were surprised and plan legal action amid a sealed warrant.

  • On Thursday, top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees demanded Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence and former Democratic congresswoman, brief them on her presence during the FBI raid seeking 2020 election records in Fulton County, Georgia.
  • Legal experts and Robert Litt, former ODNI lawyer, said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s election duties don’t authorize domestic law enforcement raids, though ODNI officials defended Gabbard’s role.
  • FBI agents executed a court-authorized warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, seizing file boxes and ballots that arrived late Wednesday at a Winchester, Virginia FBI facility.
  • Lawmakers on intelligence committees and critics warned that turning intelligence authorities inward risks privacy harms and urged oversight, while an official called Gabbard's trip an expensive `photo op` with no real role.
