    The FBI has asked its field offices across the country to dedicate more
    than 200 staffers to its investigation of the 2020 election in GeorgiaAs
    Fulton county.

    A memo obtained Thursday by the Associated Press calls for the FBI to
    osurgeo 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists to
    the effort, which it described as a opriority investigationo.

    It said each of them is to conduct a check of an estimated 708 records
    by 17 July. While the memo does not describe the investigation, people
    familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal decision-making confirmed the request was to help with the Georgia 2020 election investigation.

    FBI agents in January seized hundreds of boxes containing ballots and
    other documents related to the 2020 election in GeorgiaAs most populous
    county, which is heavily Democratic and includes most of the city of
    Atlanta.

    A Fulton county spokesperson declined to comment citing a pending investigation.

    The contents of the memo were first reported by MS Now.

    Donald Trump and his allies have made false claims that widespread
    election fraud cost him the 2020 election. GeorgiaAs votes in the 2020 presidential race were counted three times, including once by hand, and
    each count affirmed Joe BidenAs win.

    The justice department has previously said it is investigating
    oirregularities that occurred during the 2020 presidential election in
    the countyo.
