The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta field office was reportedly removed from his post after questioning the Trump administration’s renewed interest in investigating the role of Fulton county, Georgia, in the 2020 election.
The agent, Paul W Brown, had expressed concerns around the unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in Fulton county, which have been perpetuated by Donald Trump since he was defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to an MS NOW report on Friday. Citing sources, MS NOW also reported that Brown refused to carry out searches and seizures of records connected to the election that Trump lost four years before winning a second presidency in 2024.
News of Brown’s ouster came after the justice department on Thursday executed a search warrant and seized records from the Fulton county elections office in the Atlanta area. Authorities seized 700 boxes related to 2020 election results in the county, which Biden won.
Trump’s national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, was also seen at the county’s election office that day, drawing concern from Democratic lawmakers about partisan overreach.
Brown was replaced the week before the service of the search warrant at the elections office, as first reported by the Associated Press. The personnel decision was not publicized by the FBI, and the AP said the reason for Brown’s removal was not immediately clear.
Robb Pitts, the Fulton county board of commissioners chair, spoke out against the Trump administration’s decision to raid the office, arguing that it was unjustified political retribution. Pitts also reaffirmed that, despite the search warrant, the county had nothing to hide.
“Fulton county elections are fair and lawful, and the outcome of the 2020 election will not change,” he said. “Period.”
The Guardian has reached out to the FBI for comment.

“Defeated by Joe Biden”, “which Biden won.” Blah, blah, blah
1 Down.
4,999 to go.
I understand they also got rid of the head of FBI in the Minneapolistan district.
We’ll see. Hopefully the evidence can be found, if it hasn’t already been destroyed....
Adios Jackass
ISN’T HIS WHERE THE MOTHER -DAUGHTER WERE COUNTING / RECOUNTING BALLOTS??
WHERE OBSERVERS WERE BLOCKED FROM SEEING THRU THE WINDOWS???
No bias there, no sirree.
They can’t be “substantiated”unless they are investigated.
Was the praetorian media ever this concerned about every shift change at the FBI during the regimes of Obama and “Biden”? Wow if only we’d enjoyed this level of scrutiny when they were replacing patriotic agents with communist thugs to do their bidding.
Yup
They have already found violations of the law. Period.
My advice to Pam Bondi, which you have to keep in mind 99% of the people that work for her are communists, is to continue to manage each of these type cases closely and when people get in the way immediately fire them. She can’t just fire 99 present of the DOJ altho i would try.
Kash needs to keep flushing the FBI toilet to get rid of the diseased excrement from the Obama and Biden kakistocracies.
This FBI agent’s question shows either his bias or his lack of understanding. The point of collecting this evidence is not to rehash the 2020 election. Rather, it is to show if the system is broken, then it needs to be fixed before the mid-terms. And if the data does show the fraud that went on, then the media can stop gaslighting us about “the most secure election ever.”
Now investigate Robb with 2 bbs Pitts!
I think the reason Tulsi Gabbard was at the Fbi raid was that someone told Trump that foreign actors (whether it is a foreign agent or someone acting for a foreign power influenced the Fulton County voting results in 2020).
What is surprising about this is that Georgia may be the only swing state of 2020 that is a subject of an FBI raid in the second Trump term. What about Arizona? What about Pennsylvania? I’m sure Trump wants to investigate the other swing states of 2020 now that Trump is serving his second presidential term. I’m waiting for more FBI raids.
Refreshing to see in 2026: Employee given orders by his superiors refuses to follow orders, is shown the door.
Federal judges with no jurisdiction coming to the recue in 3, 2, 1...
Most questions answer themselves.
