By Jana Winter and Andrew Goudsward WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The FBI searched an election office in Georgia's Fulton County outside Atlanta on Wednesday, pursuing U.S. President Donald Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespread voting fraud.
FBI Director Kash Patel said Thursday that a federal judge determined there was probable cause to carry out Wednesday's search of the Fulton County Elections and Operations Hub in Georgia. County officials said the FBI seized original 2020 voting records Wednesday while serving a search warrant at the facility.
