The FBI is concerned about the possibility of Trump ordering the seizure of the machines and ballot boxes on the eve of the US midterm elections, some FBI agents are worried that the administration of Donald Trump will ask them to investigate election fraud. Several current and former agency officials told MSNow that agents fear being ordered to confiscate ballots or voting machines. US law prohibits armed agents from entering voting precincts, but some officials are concerned that the US Justice Department will seek a court order to access election documents and equipment. These concerns increased after a series of actions by the Trump administration; including the seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia by the FBI earlier this year. In October, the US Department of Justice asked California election officials to remove the names of about 20,000 people from the state's voter rolls, arguing that these people are not US citizens.
