Judge Upholds FBI Custody of 2020 Election Ballots Amid Ongoing Fraud Investigation

A U.S. judge has ruled that the Justice Department can keep possession of 2020 election ballots seized during an FBI search, marking a legal win for President Trump's administration. The decision supports ongoing investigations into whether election records in Fulton County were improperly handled, despite legal challenges and expiration of certain statutes.

In a significant legal development, a U.S. judge has allowed the Justice Department to retain possession of election ballots from 2020, seized by the FBI, backing President Trump's contested claims of voter fraud.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee against Fulton County's bid to reclaim the ballots signifies a rare court triumph for Trump's administration as it continues to scrutinize election integrity.

Despite the legal victory, the investigation faces obstacles, including expired statutes of limitations on potential charges, while critics argue the search was based on flawed evidence.
