Fulton County alleges FBI agent misled judge to seize 2020 election records

Fulton County officials allege an FBI agent misled a federal judge to obtain the warrant that led to the seizure of more than 650 boxes of election records, including original ballots, during the 2020 election probe. They’re pressing for the agent, Hugh Evans, to testify in a hearing ordered by a Trump-appointed judge, amid revelations that the affidavit relied on debunked election‑denier claims and may have failed to establish probable cause; a clerk holding the records, Che Alexander, has joined the lawsuit to recover the materials and challenges to the warrant’s execution and the seizure’s legality under the Fourth Amendment.
