A county clerk in Wisconsin claims that a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent attempted to interview a county election director at her residence and released a statement defending the state’s handling of the 2020 presidential election. "I can confirm that a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited the home of my Elections Director and left her business card," Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said in a statement on Thursday morning. "We will be following up to determine the nature of this visit. It is unfortunate that the FBI chose to visit the private residence of Milwaukee County’s Elections Director rather than contact the Election Commission’s office directly. No dedicated public servant should be subjected to that type of intrusion simply for carrying out her responsibilities with integrity and professionalism." Christenson went on to defend the state’s handling of the 2020 presidential election as "fair and transparent" and said "this has been proven repeatedly over the last six years by the post-election canvass, the Presidential Election Recount, State court-based challenge, Federal court-based challenge, the forensic audit by the Wisconsin’s Legislative Audit Bureau, and two additional independent audits. Continuing to relitigate settled questions does not strengthen public confidence in elections but it undermines it."

"Our responsibility as election officials is to safeguard the integrity of the process through facts, transparency, and adherence to the law, and the record clearly demonstrates that those standards were met in 2020." Christenson went on to suggest the FBI's actions are an "attack on democracy." TRUMP ACCUSES SCHUMER OF TRYING TO 'INTERFERE IN OU…
