"On Tuesday's The Source, Collins interviewed Sanders and noted that Gabbard has been tasked by the administration with overseeing election security. The announcement comes as the FBI raided an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, where agents confiscated records.

The FBI raided an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, and agents confiscated records; officials say Gabbard is not involved in that probe.

Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022 and joined Trump's team. Sanders characterized Gabbard's assignment as a political maneuver by the president to create advantages in the midterms and warned against federal forces being used in ways Americans find alarming.
