Trump posts discredited conspiracy theories following seizure of 2020 ballots in Georgia

On Wednesday, Jan. 28 2026, FBI agents executed a court‑ordered search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Hub in Union City, Ga., seizing original 2020 voting records. In the hours that followed, former President Donald Trump posted dozens of X messages alleging that Italian military satellites had hacked U.S. voting machines, that China and the CIA orchestrated the FBI raid, and that Barack Obama conspired with foreign powers in 2016. The posts also warned of impending prosecutions. Trump’s claims replicate earlier unfounded rumors—such as 2021 presidential‑supply claims about Hugo Chávez—that the 2020 election was stolen. Journalists noted that Georgia’s certified results were upheld by courts and that no credible evidence of fraud exists.
