A federal judge in Atlanta has given the administration of President Donald Trump until Tuesday to give the court the documentation that led to the seizure of Fulton County ballots from the 2020 presidential election.
The order signed Saturday by U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee also unsealed the court file for the subsequent lawsuit against the Trump administration that was brought by Fulton County Commission Chairman Rob Pitts.
Pitts sued after the Jan. 28 raid on a county elections warehouse, when FBI agents entered a county property in Union City and left with 2020 ballots.
“The Court’s action affirms that this case is a matter of public interest, in Fulton County and beyond,” Pitts said in a statement Sunday. “Fulton County will continue to pursue every legal option to seek the return of election records and to defend our elections from possible takeover.”
The order by Judge Boulee of the Northern District of Georgia gives the federal government until 5 p.m. Tuesday to produce the affidavit that the government filed to obtain the search warrant.
Pitts said county staff were continuing to prepare for the 2026 election, “which will be once again free, fair, transparent and legally compliant.”
