Former Trump official turned critic Miles Taylor Thursday said that the president's spy chief Tulsi Gabbard could have just implicated the president in the fallout over why she was at the FBI raid of an election office in Fulton County, Georgia.

In his Substack, Taylor described how Gabbard "over-explained" the reason she was at the Georgia FBI raid in a letter to Congress, which Trump flatly denied during a NBC News interview this week. The two also appeared to have accidentally mixed up their messages and the justification for seizing the 2020 ballots (Trump has falsely claimed and argued that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him).

"Gabbard didn’t just say she happened to be there. She said the President requested her presence and specifically directed her observation of the search. That’s extraordinary," Taylor wrote. "The Director of National Intelligence does not run criminal investigations. She does not execute search warrants. She does not supervise FBI evidence collection at state election offices."...

President Donald Trump has continued to claim that election fraud in Fulton County cost him the 2020 presidential election. Fulton County Chair Rob Pitts spoke during a press conference in Atlanta and pushed back on the unfounded claim.

"Fulton County elections are fair and lawful. And the outcome of the 2020 election will not change. Period," Pitts said. "Let me talk about voter protections. Now, we do not know where our election records have been taken or what will happen to them now that they are out of our control. While they were here, they were safe and they secure. Once they left Fulton County, our election center, I don't know where they are. I don't know who has them. I don't know what they're doing with them. We can no longer be held responsible for those ballots and other data that was seized yesterday. But what I'm hoping that we will stand together to ensure that no data is ever weaponized."...

The Trump administration Thursday gave an explanation over why Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was at the FBI raid at an election office in Georgia, but it is laughable, according to one expert.

The FBI Wednesday raided an elections center in Fulton County, Georgia. President Donald Trump has continued to insist that election fraud cost him the 2020 election, despite no clear evidence that this happened.

A Trump administration official, whose name was not released, Thursday released a statement to MS NOW about why Gabbard was involved in the raid. ...
