"I will say that, it should be no surprise to many in this room, that or anybody watching that election integrity is extraordinarily important to this administration always has been and always will be. Blanche continued, And so, the fact that President Trump and this administration are investigating to make sure that well, are investigating issues around elections to make sure that we do have completely fair and appropriate elections should not be surprising, but I can't comment on any criminal investigations."
"Yes, I saw the same photos you did, Blanche said of reports questioning why Gabbard was involved in an election integrity investigation. I mean, she's not she doesn't work for the Department of Justice or the FBI. She's an extraordinarily important part of this administration. This administration coordinates everything we do as a group. And so, I think her presence shouldn't be shouldn't be questioned. Of course. I mean, that's that's a big part of her, of her job. And so, the fact that she was present in Atlanta that day, you know, it's just something that shouldn't surprise anybody."
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to comment on the criminal investigation into the FBI search of a Georgia election office tied to the 2020 election probe. Blanche emphasized that election integrity is extraordinarily important to the administration and framed ongoing investigations as efforts to ensure completely fair and appropriate elections. Blanche did not explain why a search warrant was used instead of asking for materials that were set to be made public. Blanche addressed reports about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the raid, stating her presence as part of coordinated administration activity should not be surprising.
