FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Monday to block intervention by District Attorney Fani Willis in the legal battle over paying attorneys fees related to the indictment of President Donald Trump. The president, some of his co-defendants and their attorneys are in the midst of seeking more than $16 million, collectively, in legal fee recovery due to the dismissal of the indictment. In her role as DA, Willis was seeking to prevent the payment of the $16 million citing, among other reasons, how it would impact the office’s budget and subsequent ability to perform...

Ousted Dolton mayor Tiffany Henyard has apparently not lost her appetite for elected office despite a long list of grievances, bills and legal judgements left in her wake. The democrat has qualified as a republican candidate for a seat on the Fulton County, Georgia, board of commissioners. It comes as WGN Investigates has learned Henyard’s troubled time in Chicago’s south suburbs now also includes a new $10,000 judgement from a case filed by her former landlord. Genetta Hull accused Henyard and her boyfriend of failing to pay rent for a home she lived in while serving as Dolton’s mayor. “I’m...

Three Georgia senators are proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow a statewide grand jury to investigate election violations. Senate Resolution 875 says the grand juries could investigate election violations from anywhere in the state. The chief justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia would appoint a Superior Court judge to oversee the grand jury. The attorney general would appoint a legal adviser, according to the bill. Georgia voters would decide in November if the resolution becomes part of the state constitution. "We have had this, I guess just a series of issues involving voting, different accusations, different prosecutions of...

In December 2025, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to the 2020 election records, citing the federal law that grants the Justice Department jurisdiction to investigate federal elections. Fulton County refused, leading the Justice Department to infer that these public officials were hiding evidence of a crime. Thereafter, the Justice Department served a criminal search warrant on the Fulton County Election Records Office. Fulton County immediately filed an emergency motion to return the records. This led to the unsealing of the Justice Department’s search warrant affidavit, giving the public a...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia's 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.The memos show that President Joe Biden's top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis' prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews...

After the election offices of Georgia’s most populous county were raided last month, the FBI has disclosed information indicating where its investigation is heading.FBI agents are seen at the facility in Union City, Ga., on Jan. 28, 2026. Federal laws may have been broken during the 2020 election according to the affidavit supporting the court-approved raid. Yet the breadth of the materials seized shows the FBI may be able to check the integrity of the ballots more broadly, uncovering further issues or putting speculation to bed.President Donald Trump’s campaign challenged the Georgia election most vigorously, as he lost the state...

Fulton County, Georgia, officials said Wednesday that the FBI seized original 2020 voting records while serving a search warrant at the county's Elections Hub and Operations Center. The FBI earlier Wednesday said they were conducting court-authorized activity at the facility. The development comes after President Donald Trump has repeatedly said there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, specifically in Georgia, that contributed to his election loss. Georgia officials audited and certified the results following the election.

It’s all backstage now. This fraught moment, the power centers locked in the coldest cold of the year, the Spanish language lessons of Bad Bunny behind us, all the real action in the battle to save the country is out of sight, moiling and churning in the deep background. Everybody’s on edge waiting for shoes to drop, praying they don’t drop on their heads. You should have seen Senator Mark Warner (D-VA; Vice-chair of the Senate Intel Committee) on Face the Nation Sunday, frothing at the mouth over Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence (DNI). He cannot believe she turned...

A state judge dismissed a case after the Justice Department’s seizure of ballots from the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County, which has raised fears that they could be manipulated... (the rest behind firewall)

The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020. They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. Just 2 months ago, Fulton County acknowledged that 315,000 ballots from the 2020 election weren’t properly certified.A mere 11,779 votes determined the winner in Georgia.President Trump has every right to ask questions—and make sure it doesn’t happen again....

CORRUPTION: FBI Atlanta Chief Paul Brown warned Fulton County elections officials about a coming raid & even shared a list of items agents planned to seize. He was removed just before the warrant was executed. This is a compromised bureau. h/t @zerohedge

“I suspect that the FBI is going to find things missing.” As a member of the Georgia State Election Board, Salleigh Grubbs is an authority on the alleged 2020 election fraud that led to an FBI raid on an election center in Fulton County. “It could be ballots, it could be reconciliations, it could be poll tapes, it could be any number of things,” she told The Spectator. “They have been fighting to prevent anyone looking at this evidence and preventing investigations. If you don’t have anything to hide, why do you care?”Fulton officials finally admitted in December – after...

Where is it that the chickens go to roost? If you said “home,” you don’t quite get it. The correct answer is “Fulton County, Georgia.” At least, that’s where the chickens were congregating at the end of January when the FBI raided a Fulton County election office and made off with some 700 boxes of ballots and other election materials. Seven hundred, kemo sabe. According to the official search warrant, the G-Men were there to seize “all records relating to violations of Title 52, United States Code, 20701 and 20511.” It’s always scary when people start talking about “United States...

VIDEOThe Democrats and their media mouthpieces are in such a state of PANIC over the FBI seizing 700 boxes of Fulton County ballots to be used as possible evidence of 2020 election fraud that creepy CBS reporter and self-described PTSD survivor Scott MacFarlane dropped his guard as well as any hint of professionalism and angrily called President Trump a LIAR as you can see in this video.How long will CBS continue to employ a supposed reporter who demonstrates such a pathetic lack of professionalism due to overbearing bias?

An official in Fulton County, Georgia, has announced the county will challenge the legality of the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records. Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said the effort will seek to “force the government to return the ballots taken.” Arrington said that the county’s attorneys are expected to file a motion in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia to fight the action of Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI. The FBI served a warrant last Wednesday at the Fulton County election office, near Atlanta, Georgia, taking 700 boxes of election materials as it probes alleged...

VIDEOThink about it. If you were an election official who knew the elections in your county were conducted properly and in exact conformance with the law then you would welcome a check on your records which would verify what a great job you have been doing. Instead, many Fulton County election officials are freaking out and are in a state of panic over the FBI seizing the voting records. And one of the very guilty acting Fulton County Commissioners now even wants to become the Georgia Secretary of State so she can do for state elections what has happened in...

I've been working hard this week trying to keep abreast of national and international events, and I’ve come to the conclusion that much of what is most important to know remains as yet murky and unverifiable. International DevelopmentsSome things are clear. The decades-long oppression of the people of Cuba is coming to an end within days. The country is woefully short of energy sources -- in significant part because Maduro is out and Venezuela is no longer providing it. The country is now barely existing in blackout conditions. President Trump has announced that major tariffs will be imposed on any...

Kash Patel just gave an update on the FBI raid of the Fulton County Election Center and while he is obviously tight-lipped right now given the ongoing investigation, I picked up a couple gems in what he said. He confirmed the search warrant allowed them to pick up a ton of information. He said they are now actively processing that information. And he implied there would be much more to come. ... And now another massive update.... The Trump FBI now has the 2020 Fulton County election ballots! Also the voter list: Let's just say the Commissioner is NOT happy...

A contest to determine the most smug, contemptuous, repellent female Democrat would feature too many entrants to count. Nonetheless, Dana Barrett, a Democrat serving as commissioner in Fulton County, Georgia, has made a case for herself. In a video recorded Wednesday outside the Fulton County elections office and then posted to the social media platform X, Barrett tried desperately to evade independent journalist David Khait, who was asking her about cleaning up the state’s corrupted voter rolls.

WASHINGTON — When President Donald Trump watched a live feed of the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not in the room. Just two days earlier, she had posted photos of herself on a beach in Hawaii at sunset practicing yoga, sending out a new year’s greeting for “peace.”That she appeared to be on vacation in the run-up to such a high-stakes, ultra-sensitive military operation seemed to underscore the extent to which she has been sidelined by the administration.But there she was on Wednesday, at an election center in...
