The Justice Department in April obtained a grand jury subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information of county employees and volunteer poll workers. President Donald Trump has long claimed without evidence that widespread voter fraud in Georgia\u2019s most populous county, a Democratic stronghold, cost him victory in the state in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fulton County asked a judge to quash the subpoena, arguing it was meant to \u201ctarget, harass and punish the President\u2019s perceived political opponents\u201d and that it was \u201cgrossly over broad and untethered to any reasonable need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
