Patel doubles down on FBI election hub raid, says Trump called agents directly to thank them for operation

FBI Director Kash Patel doubled down on his defense of the agency’s election hub raid in Fulton County, Georgia during a wide-ranging interview on "Special Report" Tuesday.

Federal investigators "followed the parameters of the search warrant and secured the evidence," Patel told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier.

"What you saw play out last week was the execution of that search warrant, just like we would do anywhere else. The target of that search warrant was a warehouse down in Fulton County," he said.
