A federal judge is weighing Fulton County’s demand that the FBI return ballots and records from the 2020 election that were seized from an Atlanta-area warehouse. On Friday, the judge plans to hear arguments after court-ordered mediation failed. Fulton County said the seizure of ballots was improper and unconstitutional, while the FBI says it's investigating possible violations of the law. The FBI’s move was one of several actions by the Trump administration that have alarmed Democrats and many election officials who are concerned it is using law enforcement to pursue the president’s personal grievances and is planning ways to interfere in this year’s midterm elections.
