Election officials in Fulton County, Georgia, asked a federal judge to reject a U.S. Department of Justice effort to obtain identifying details for people who worked on the 2020 election in the county.
The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (FBRE) filed a 27-page motion Monday asking the Georgia federal court to quash a grand jury subpoena issued by the DOJ.
The motion to quash called the subpoena “an unprecedented and harassing grand jury subpoena” and characterized it as the DOJ’s “latest effort to target and harass the President’s perceived political enemies — this time election officials, poll workers, and volunteers in Fulton County whom Donald Trump continues to disparage as he perpetuates his false claim that they ‘stole’ the 2020 election.”
The subpoena, according to the FBRE motion, requests that the Board send information for thousands of poll workers and county employees to an out-of-district U.S. attorney and an FBI agent. The motion argues that the probe be quashed on grounds that it cannot result in criminal prosecution “because, among other things, the statutes of limitations have expired for any purported 2020 crimes.”

Trump lost the state of Georgia by a razor-thin margin in 2020, prompting Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to announce a recount by hand. The Nov. 18, 2020, recount confirmed that former President Joe Biden won the state by 11,777 votes.
The subpoena represents the latest from the Trump administration in an effort to investigate alleged voter fraud in Georgia.
In January, the DOJ filed a lawsuit against Raffensperger to compel him to produce an unredacted statewide voter registration database.

Five days later, FBI agents conducted a search at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center as part of a probe related to the 2020 election.
The FBI also filed search warrants in February revealing a probe into missing ballots and chain-of-custody problems in Georgia’s biggest county.
FBRE’s pushback claims, in part, that Trump’s efforts amount to “arbitrary fishing expeditions.”
Trump officials, meanwhile, defend their efforts as necessary to ensure election integrity.
“Interference in U.S. elections is a threat to our republic and a national security threat,” Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard said in a letter to Congress in February.
Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for the White House, the DOJ, the DNI, the FBI and for the chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners but did not immediately receive a response.
