Court filings connected to the FBI’s recent seizure of 2020 election materials in Georgia are set to become public, opening a new window into a closely watched federal investigation tied to Fulton County’s election operations.
A federal judge has directed the government to unseal documents related to the FBI raid that removed hundreds of boxes of election records from a county facility outside Atlanta, per Fox News.
The order could soon reveal additional details about why agents targeted the site and what evidence they were seeking.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, who was nominated to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2019, ruled that the filings should no longer remain under seal.
He instructed the government to submit the documents, including the search warrant affidavit, by Tuesday, with limited redactions.
“Although Petitioners originally filed this case under seal, both parties have now indicated to the Court that they do not oppose unsealing the docket or the motions filed by Petitioners,” Boulee wrote in his order.
“Moreover, Respondent has stated that it does not oppose the unsealing of the search warrant affidavit and any other papers associated with the warrant subject to the redaction of the names of nongovernmental witnesses,” the order continued.
