We're learning new details about the FBI raid on an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, last week.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explained in a letter to Congress that President Trump personally asked her to be on site as federal agents executed that search warrant.

The incident has raised serious questions about election security and federal authority.

White House correspondent Liz Landers has been following all of this and joins us now. So Liz,

let's start with that FBI raid in Georgia and Tulsi Gabbard's role. What more do we know about

why she was there? Well, this has been raising concerns amongst Democrats in Congress who

asked her to explain her presence. So she wrote this letter late last night defending why she was down there in Fulton County.

She said that the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant.

She also in this letter confirmed a phone call that she facilitated between President Trump and FBI agents who participated in that

operation, which I should underscore Omna, is very unusual. White House Press Secretary Caroline

Levitt was asked about this and explained a bit more about Gabbard's role this afternoon.

This is a coordinated whole of government effort to ensure that our elections again are fair and transparent moving forward.

I don't see anything wrong with the president tasking cabinet member to pursue an issue that most people want to see solved.

Maybe you don't, but I know many Americans do want to make sure our elections are protected and that's what Tulsi Gabbard is focused on doing.

And Fulton County election officials there are saying that they are going to sue the FBI and the

Department of Justice over the search warrant that they say was not proper.

I'm sure you've heard there are some who are worrying this could be a sort of dry run for other

places to interfere in the 2026 26 midterms and beyond.

What are you hearing about that?

Well, one of the main concerns about what happened in Fulton County is that they seized voter

roles.

That was something we saw in the warrant last week.
