Fulton County accuses FBI raid of intimidating voters, seeks records back

Fulton County officials filed an emergency motion after the FBI seized about 700 boxes of 2020 election materials, including ballots, from the county’s election hub, arguing the highly public raid could chill voting and undermine confidence in ballot security, and seeking the records’ return. In unsealed filings, Chair Robb Pitts attacked the operation as designed to intimidate voters, and a judge ordered the DOJ to publicly unseal the warrant affidavit to reveal probable cause; the filings also note the presence of national officials at the scene and raise questions about bypassing civil proceedings to obtain the records.

Newly Released Affidavit Unveils Disturbing Details of Harmony Montgomery's Murder

A newly unsealed affidavit details the final moments of 5-year-old Harmony Montgomery, who was fatally beaten by her father for having bathroom accidents in the car. The affidavit states that the attacks occurred three times “over the course of a few minutes.” After the final blow, Montgomery allegedly turned to his now-estranged wife, Kayla, and said: “I think I really hurt her this time.” Montgomery allegedly placed her lifeless body in a black and red Under Armour duffle bag he had in the trunk. It would take another two years for authorities to learn that Harmony was even missing. Montgomery was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with Harmony’s death. To date, Harmony’s remains have not yet been located.
