A confidential report reveals the FBI's extensive surveillance activities during the tense post-election period of 2020. This investigation particularly focused on President Donald Trump's legal team while he was still in office.
• The FBI started its investigation shortly after the 2020 election, continuing without regard for the incoming administration of President Joe Biden.
• A memo from December 8, 2020, by then-FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich directed the Atlanta field office to conduct interviews related to an inquiry termed an "election matter. "
• This investigation was prompted by a Georgia hearing where Rudy Giuliani, representing Trump, presented claims about voting fraud.
• The FBI utilized "assessments," allowing them to use intrusive methods like warrantless surveillance without needing evidence of criminal activity.
• Giuliani publicly criticized Attorney General William Barr for not investigating voting irregularities, prompting the FBI's actions.
• Eventually, in April 2021, the FBI raided Giuliani’s home and office months after initiating the assessment.
The FBI's surveillance of Trump's legal team illustrates the agency's proactive stance during a politically charged time, leading to significant consequences for Giuliani.
