Fulton County, Georgia, is suing the federal government for the return of 2020 election documents that the FBI seized in a raid last week.

A county spokesperson said on Feb. 4 that the county filed a motion in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia requesting the return of all 2020 election files that the FBI took on Jan. 28 under a search warrant.
