Reports circulating online suggest that Paul Brown, the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta Field Office, was recently pushed out of his position after raising concerns about the Biden Justice Departments renewed interest in Fulton Countys handling of the 2020 election.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, MSNOWs Ken Dilanian claimed that Brown was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Departments renewed push to probe Fulton Countys role in the 2020 election and after expressing concern about unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in Fulton County. This framing conveniently dismisses mounting evidence-related concerns in a jurisdiction that has been at the center of election integrity questions since President Trump challenged the 2020 results.
On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit published a detailed 26-count report that was shared with the Department of Justice, alleging extensive maladministration and evidence destruction tied to Fulton Countys 2020 election. The outlet insists the report is backed by citations and corroborating materials, directly disputing Dilanians description of the allegations as unsubstantiated.
Gateway Pundit also obtained what appears to be an FBI response letter to that 26-count report, addressed to Fulton County Elections Director Nadine Williams and signed by Special Agent in Charge Brown. In it, the FBI requested that the county voluntarily produce 2020 election materials, rather than treating the matter as a routine bureaucratic formality.
Sources familiar with the situation indicated that Browns removal may have stemmed from Justice Department displeasure with his restrained approach to the report. Rather than seeking a probable cause search warrant, Brown chose to send a request letter, even after multiple prior attempts over several years to secure the same election records.
The letter itself raised additional questions, marred by typographical errors such as tallie instead of tally and pole in place of poll. It also lacked a date of origin and, more troubling for transparency advocates, failed to set any compliance deadline for Director Williams.
Efforts to obtain Fulton County election records long predate this episode, including a formal request from then-Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, three subpoenas from the Georgia State Election Board tied to an ongoing complaint, and several lawsuits seeking access to physical ballots and related documentation.
One such case has reportedly languished for more than 1,100 days awaiting a hearing after being remanded by the Georgia Supreme Court to a lower court, underscoring how slowly election transparency moves when it cuts against the prevailing narrative.
Earlier this month, a Georgia Superior Court judge finally ordered Fulton County to comply with one of the SEB subpoenas, though the order conspicuously excluded the physical ballots themselves. A source emphasized that, since Browns ouster, the FBI has conducted itself diligently and professionally, a reminder that many rank-and-file agents appear willing to do their jobs even as political pressure from Washington continues to cloud public confidence in election-related investigations.
