A federal judge in Georgia has ordered the unsealing of documents related to a controversial FBI raid on an election facility in Fulton County by Tuesday. The raid, which occurred late last month, led to the federal custody of 2020 election ballots, sparking a legal battle. The county's Board of Commissioners and the Registration and Elections board are suing the federal government, seeking the return of the ballots. The judge, J.P. Boulee, appointed by President Donald Trump, has given the government until Tuesday to file the warrant affidavit with redacted names of non-governmental witnesses. The FBI raid has faced intense scrutiny, with Trump and his allies denying the 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, despite the recount affirming Biden's victory. The involvement of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the raid has added to the speculation, with Democrats warning of potential meddling in the 2026 midterms. Trump's recent calls for federal control over elections have raised concerns about the integrity of the democratic process.
