Read Original Source
The FBI is ramping up its investigation into the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia, by ordering field offices across the country to send investigative analysts to Atlanta to help evaluate thousands of records, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. According to a memo sent to all field offices and reviewed by CBS News, the Directorate of Intelligence requested "surge support" to Atlanta to assist in what it called FBI Director Kash Patel's "priority" investigation.
