Former President Donald Trump signaled Monday that “something” significant may be revealed relating to the 2020 presidential election after the FBI executed a search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia, and seized ballots and other related election materials.
Speaking on The Dan Bongino Show, Trump reiterated long-standing claims that the 2020 election was flawed and said evidence from the Fulton County search could lead to “interesting things” coming to light. He did not provide specific details about what information may emerge or when it might be disclosed.
Trump also repeated assertions that there were irregularities in vote counts in states he did not win and encouraged Republicans to consider changes to election administration processes.
He suggested that actions taken in Georgia could be part of a broader review of election conduct, though he provided no new evidence to support allegations that the 2020 results were affected by fraud.
He stated to the audience that certain states had such corrupt vote-counting practices that the results were manipulated, including in states he claims to have won. T
rump mentioned that evidence from the search in Fulton County would soon uncover “interesting things.” He also encouraged Republicans to think about “nationalizing the voting” process.
“We have states that I won that show I didn’t win,” Trump told Bongino. “Now you’re going to see something in Georgia, where they were able to get, with a court order, the ballots.”
“You’re going to see some interesting things come out. But you know, like the 2020 election, I won that election by so much,” Trump said.
Trump’s comments follow federal authorities’ Jan. 28 execution of a court-approved warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center in Union City, where agents seized ballots from the 2020 general election, voting machine tapes, and voter rolls as part of an ongoing investigation.
Federal officials have said the search was part of normal investigative procedures under a criminal warrant; they have not released further details on potential charges or findings tied to the seizure.
Fulton County officials on Monday sued the federal government, claiming the search warrant execution was flawed and that FBI agents improperly seized voting data.
WATCH:
The Fulton County materials are at the center of renewed scrutiny related to election administration and record preservation. Critics and supporters alike have offered differing interpretations of the search, with Republican allies of Trump calling it overdue scrutiny and Democratic officials dismissing broader claims of fraud.
No formal legal actions involving the seized materials have been announced, and it remains unclear what, if any, findings may result from the ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta field office was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Department’s renewed push to probe Fulton County’s role in the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The sources told MS NOW that SAC Paul Brown was ousted after raising concerns about the FBI’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s longstanding allegations of voter fraud in the Atlanta-anchored county.
Brown also refused to conduct searches and seizures of records related to the 2020 election, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. Authorities seized 700 boxes related to Fulton County’s 2020 general election.
Brown was appointed to oversee all investigations and personnel in Georgia last February.
The Associated Press reported that the FBI moved to replace Brown last week.
