据多位了解此事的消息人士透露，美国联邦调查局（FBI）上周解雇了两名分析师，原因是他们表达了担忧，认为针对佐治亚州富尔顿县2020年选举结果的调查缺乏证据，且似乎带有政治动机。
此次解雇发生在FBI今年早些时候执行搜查令、扣押了2020年所有纸质选票、投票机磁带、选票图像以及选民登记名单之后，该局当时对获取的数千份记录进行审查。该局共下令260名分析师协助梳理选票和投票数据。
FBI发言人在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示：“FBI始终会调查与联邦选举相关的可信指控。每一名FBI员工都应坚守我们的使命，遵守我们的标准——任何违规行为都不会被容忍。”
此次解雇事件最早由MS Now报道。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道，这些FBI分析师需在本周7月17日前完成工作。
了解此事的消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，每位分析师被要求审查一份大型电子表格中的数百条条目，表格内包含姓名、地址和选民身份证号等信息。
消息人士补充称，分析师随后被指示将这些信息与商业数据库Accurint进行交叉核对，并标记出任何不一致之处。该数据库整合了包括姓名、地址、电话号码以及犯罪记录等在内的公共记录。

目前尚不清楚审查结束后，FBI打算如何处理这些信息。
消息人士称，这项任务引发了多方面担忧，包括Accurint数据库中的数据可能并非始终最新，且发现的任何不一致之处未必意味着存在不当行为。还有一个问题是，司法部该如何提起诉讼，因为法定的五年追诉时效很可能已于2025年底或2026年初到期。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系Accurint的母公司寻求置评。
一些人还担心特朗普政府可能会利用此次审查结果声称2020年选举结果无效，这一举措可能会在中期选举前引发人们对选举公正性的质疑，或被用来施压共和党人通过《SAVE法案》，该法案要求美国人在现场登记投票时出示公民身份证明。
富尔顿县官员此前试图叫停这项调查，该调查是由库尔特·奥尔森转交给FBI的。奥尔森曾是“阻止偷窃选举”运动的成员，曾努力推翻2020年选举结果。后来他在代表卡里·莱克推翻其2022年亚利桑那州选举失利的诉讼时，被法院制裁。
奥尔森目前就职于司法部，被派往迈阿密协助调查所谓的“大阴谋”，即奥巴马和拜登时期的官员是否通过一系列调查、情报评估和起诉，试图阻止特朗普当选总统，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道此事。
今年5月，一名法官驳回了富尔顿县要求归还被扣押选票的请求。
不过在此之后，该县取得了一场胜利：本月早些时候，一名法官驳回了一份大陪审团传票，该传票要求获取富尔顿县2020年选举期间所有工作人员的姓名和个人联系信息。
FBI fires 2 analysts who raised concerns about Fulton County 2020 election probe, sources say
July 13, 2026 / 1:28 PM EDT / CBS News
The FBI last week fired two of its analysts after they expressed concerns that the investigation into the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia, was thin on evidence and appeared to be politically motivated, according to several sources briefed on the matter.
The firings follow the FBI’s efforts to review thousands of records obtained earlier this year, after executing a search warrant and seizing “all physical ballots” from 2020, as well as tapes from vote-tabulating machines, ballot images and voter rolls. The bureau ordered 260 analysts to help sift through the ballots and voting data.
“The FBI will always investigate credible allegations of matters related to federal elections,” an FBI spokesperson told CBS News. “Every employee at this FBI is expected to uphold our mission and adhere to our standards – any deviation will not be tolerated.”
The firings were reported earlier by MS Now.
The FBI analysts face a July 17 deadline this week to complete their work, CBS News previously reported.
Sources with knowledge of the matter told CBS News that each analyst is being asked to review several hundred entries in a large spreadsheet that contains information such as names, addresses and voter IDs.
Analysts are then instructed to cross-check the information against the commercial database Accurint, and to highlight any discrepancies, the sources added. That database aggregates public records, including names, addresses, telephone numbers and other data, such as criminal history.

It is not clear what the FBI intends to do with the information once the review is complete.
The assignment has stoked a variety of concerns, including that the data in Accurint may not always be up to date, and that any discrepancies identified may not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing, the sources claimed. There is also the question of how the Justice Department could bring charges, since the likely five-year statute of limitations would have already expired in late 2025 or early 2026.
CBS News has reached out to Accurint’s parent company seeking comment.
Some also fear the Trump administration may try to use the results of the review to claim the 2020 election results were wrong, a move that could stoke doubts about election integrity ahead of the midterm elections or be used to pressure Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, which would require Americans to show proof of citizenship in person to register to vote.
Fulton County officials have sought to quash the probe, which was referred to the FBI by Kurt Olsen, a lawyer who previously fought to try and overturn the results of the 2020 election as part of the Stop the Steal Movement. He was later sanctioned by a court while he was representing Kari Lake, in her bid to overturn her 2022 election loss in Arizona.
Olsen now works for the Justice Department. He is assigned in Miami to help investigate the so-called “grand conspiracy” into whether Obama- and Biden-era officials conspired to keep President Trump out of office through a series of investigations, intelligence assessments and prosecutions, CBS News previously reported.
A judge in May denied a request by Fulton County to return the ballots that were seized.
However, since then, the county has secured a victory after a judge earlier this month quashed a grand jury subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information for every person who worked during the 2020 election in the county.
