Two things can be true at the same time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to Democratic lawmakers Monday, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/atlanta\/news\/intelligence-director-says-trump-asked-her-to-be-present-for-fbi-search-of-georgia-election-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Gabbard said<\/a><\/span>\u00a0her presence &#8220;was requested by the president.&#8221; She also said she &#8220;facilitated&#8221; a brief phone call between the president and FBI agents who carried out the search, although she also said the president didn&#8217;t offer the agents any directives.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard&#8217;s attendance at the search elicited strong criticism from Democrats, who said the intelligence chief should not be involved in domestic law enforcement operations. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, earlier this week called on Gabbard to testify under oath, saying she &#8220;needs to explain why she believed it was appropriate to involve herself in a domestic criminal investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, the president said Gabbard attended the search &#8220;at Pam&#8217;s insistence,&#8221; referring to Bondi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She took a lot of heat two days ago because she went in, at Pam&#8217;s insistence, she went in, and she looked at votes that want to be checked out from Georgia,&#8221; Mr. Trump said. &#8220;They say, &#8216;Why is she doing it?&#8217; Right, Pam? &#8216;Why is she doing it?&#8217; Because Pam wanted her to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the president also said earlier this week that he didn&#8217;t know why Gabbard was there. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/trump-administration\/trump-interview-nbc-news-extend-transcript-tom-llamas-super-bowl-2026-rcna257410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">interview with NBC News<\/a> on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; when asked why she was present for the search. &#8220;But a lot of the cheating comes from, it&#8217;s international cheating,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has continued to insist, despite no evidence of widespread fraud, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fulton County officials are <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/atlanta\/news\/fulton-county-asks-federal-judge-to-return-2020-election-records-seized-by-fbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">demanding<\/a><\/span> the return of 2020 election ballots and other materials the FBI seized. On Wednesday, Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts said during a news conference that county officials have formally asked a federal judge to order the return of the election materials.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a serious case,&#8221; Pitts said. &#8220;Our Constitution is at stake in this fight. The Constitution is the law of the land. It is not a suggestion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Georgia was a critical state in the 2020 presidential election. Joe Biden won by just under 12,000 votes, a result that was confirmed by several recounts and audits. Mr. Trump won Georgia in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
