Trump makes eye-popping prosecutor assignment in Georgia election raid
President Donald Trump's Justice Department went out of its way to send a prosecutor he appointed to Georgia to handle a raid on the Fulton County Board of Elections.
"One of the many mysteries about the federal raid of Fulton County's election system is why a federal prosecutor from Missouri is listed on the warrant," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Greg Bluestein wrote after 2020 election records were seized from the Fulton County office. "That would be Thomas Albus, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District and a recent appointee of President Donald Trump."
However, Theodore Hertzberg, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, was not named on the warrant.
"Federal officials aren't saying," Bluestein noted.
The reporter speculated that Missouri could be involved because it is the home of Liberty Vote, the company that acquired Dominion Voting Systems after its machines were used in the 2020 election.
