FBI orders 260 analysts to Atlanta for Fulton County 2020 election probe.
The FBI issued a memo directing field offices nationwide to send approximately 260 investigative analysts to Atlanta to assist with a review of 2020 election records in Fulton County, Georgia. The internal memo labels the investigation a "priority" for FBI Director Kash Patel and sets a July 17 deadline for the work. The probe was referred by Justice Department attorney Kurt Olsen and follows the FBI's seizure of election materials from Fulton County earlier in 2026.
