Gabbard Explains Presence at Fulton County FBI Raid of Election Office

Gabbard told SSCI that Trump personally directed her to observe the January 28 FBI seizure of Fulton County election materials. Sen. Warner challenged why the DNI, whose authority covers foreign intelligence, was present at a domestic law enforcement operation. The warrant showed no foreign interference nexus. This marks an unprecedented use of DNI authority in a domestic election context.
