Tulsi Gabbard, DNI and Trump election
Digest more
The Trump administration has recently escalated its efforts to prove widespread voter fraud in 2020. Election officials and top Republicans have repeatedly said these claims are baseless.
WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees called on Thursday on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to brief their panels on why she was present for an FBI raid on an election facility in Georgia.
The story of how the theory came to find its way to the White House is itself a saga as strange as the theory and detailed in Jonathan Karl’s 2021 book. The post Trump Revives #Italygate — The Weirdest 2020 Election Conspiracy of Them All first appeared on Mediaite.

FBI raid in Georgia highlights Trump’s 2020 election obsession and hints at possible future actions
President Donald Trump is pushing the federal government to back up his bogus claims that widespread fraud cost him reelection in 2020.
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.
The FBI searched the Fulton County Elections Hub & Operations Center near Atlanta as part of a probe linked to the 2020 presidential vote.
The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday at an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, seeking to take ballots in an investigation that a source told CBS News is linked to the 2020 presidential election.
The Wall Street Journal reports Tulsi Gabbard has a key role. Meanwhile, election experts doubt prosecutors can use the ballots in court.
A court order signed by Magistrate Judge Catherine Salinas authorized FBI agents to seize all 2020 ballots and voter rolls from the 2020 election.
President Trump has long claimed voter fraud led to his loss in the state - even though multiple investigations offered no proof.
Fulton County commissioner Mo Ivory said during the press conference the FBI was collecting 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 presidential election. “We are obviously concerned about once the ballots leave here, what will happen to the ballots, and our lawyers are going to be working on that,” Ivory said.
