FBI director Kash Patel said that his agency will soon make arrests \u2013 maybe this week \u2013 in connection to the 2020 presidential election, which he claims was rigged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Patel\u2019s comments on Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo\u2019s show<\/a> Sunday morning suggested that recent moves from his agency \u2013 ballot seizures of Fulton County<\/a>, Georgia and obtaining election records from Maricopa County<\/a>, Arizona \u2013 may be part of a larger case to paint the 2020 election as illegitimate.<\/p>\n Asked by Bartiromo if he\u2019s done anything about President Donald Trump\u2019s claims that his 2020 loss to Joe Biden was due to the election being rigged, Patel affirmed, shedding a few details on what may be afoot.<\/p>\n \u201cI can announce on your show that we\u2019ve got all the information we need,\u201d said Patel. \u201cWe\u2019re working with our prosecutors, the Department of Justice, and the Attorney General Todd Blanche, and we are going to be making arrests, and it\u2019s coming \u2013 and I promise you, it\u2019s coming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n Patel went on to say that he was \u201cnever going to let this go\u201d because \u201cthey tried to thwart our elections and rigged the entire system.\u201d <\/p>\n He also told Bartiromo that his agency had evidence that the election was rigged, which he said would be used for an \u201centire conspiracy case\u201d concerning the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have the information that backs President Trump\u2019s claim,\u201d said Patel, \u201cbut because it\u2019s an ongoing prosecution investigation, I can\u2019t get ahead of the DOJ and the president. I would say, stay tuned this week. You might see a thing or two.\u201d<\/p>\n The FBI has relied on widely debunked<\/a> reports of voter fraud to obtain access to election records in Fulton County and Maricopa County. Just this week, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) demanded ballots<\/a> from Wayne County, Michigan, also based on frivolous and unsubstantiated claims of fraud.<\/p>\n
