Trump admin accused of making 'serious omissions' in election scheme
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
New court documents filed on Tuesday accuse the Trump administration of serious omissions in its efforts to retrieve voting records from Fulton County, Georgia. In late January, the Trump administration dispatched the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to raid the elections office in Fulton County. The administration took nearly 700 boxes of material related to the 2020 general election, including the county's voter rolls, which courts have so far denied the administration access to. Trump has repeatedly claimed he won the 2020 general election in Georgia, even though his lawyers were unable to prove that claim in the roughly 60 lawsuits they filed challenging the election results. Elections experts have become increasingly concerned that the operation was meant to help the administration thwart future elections. A new court filing from the Fulton County Commissioners alleges that the Trump administration omitted evidence when applying for the search warrant they used to take the election records. "The Affidavit omits numerous material facts — including from the very reports and publicly-disclosed investigations that the Affiant cites — that confirm the alleged conduct was previously investigated and found to be unintentional," the 37-page document reads in part. "Moreover, the Affidavit not only fails to allege that any particular witness is reliable or credible; it omits discrediting information about those witnesses that was obviously available to the Affiant," it continued. "These omissions are serious. The ex parte warrant process would be rendered a nullity if the government were permitted to hide material and probative facts that refute probable cause from a magistrate judge and nevertheless retain the fruits of its misconduct."
