Federal judge blocks Fulton County's attempt to compel FBI agent testimony in case seeking return of seized 2020 election ballots
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee ruled that FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans does not have to testify at a Friday hearing in Fulton County's lawsuit against the federal government seeking return of 2020 election ballots seized by the FBI on January 28. The county had subpoenaed Evans, claiming his affidavit for the search warrant contained misstatements and omissions that undermined probable cause. The FBI seized over 650-700 boxes of election materials from Fulton County's election hub as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities in the 2020 election.
