Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. A federal judge is ordering the FBI to release records about its seizure of 2020 election ballots in Georgia.
NPR's Stephen Fowler has more. The FBI has until Tuesday to publish a redacted copy of the affidavit it used to seize election material from Fulton County's elections office. The Saturday order comes after more than 650 boxes of election material were taken on January 28th with little public explanation.
Fulton County is home to Atlanta and has been ground zero for conspiracies about President Trump's 2020 election defeat. There's no evidence of widespread fraud in elections, including the 2020 race, which concluded more than five years ago. Stephen Fowler, NPR News, Atlanta.
The Seattle Seahawks used a dominating defense Sunday night as they beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl 29-13. Jason Myers accounted for more than half of Seattle's scoring. He set a Super Bowl record by making all five of his field goal tries. Thousands of Seattle fans traveled to Santa Clara, California to watch the game. Dustin Franz was ecstatic.
This is the best. We came out here knowing that we were going to win this game, and we freaking dominated. Defense, they could not move the ball against us. And the offense, we did enough to win the game.
The Super Bowl halftime entertainment, meanwhile, featured the performer Bad Bunny. It went off without a hitch.

Conservatives had criticized the selection of Bad Bunny, with some calling him a foreigner, even though the Puerto Rican-born entertainer is an American citizen.

Thailand's leading conservative party has won a decisive victory in Sunday's general election and is expected to form a coalition government within days. Michael Sullivan has more.
Prime Minister Anitin Chonvirakun's Bumjai Thai Party fared far better than pre-election polls suggested, with preliminary results showing it winning nearly 200 seats in the 500-seat parliament, far ahead of the second-place Progressive People's Party. Analysts said Bumjaitai rode a wave of nationalist fervor following its performance leading the government in the recent border war with Cambodia.
The People's Party's performance was a sharp drop-off from the 2023 election, when its previous incarnation won the most seats but was denied the right to lead by conservative elements in the Senate and the courts. For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.
Taiwan's government is condemning the sentence handed out to Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai. 78-year-old Lai was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison. He's been a fierce critic of China.

Nicaragua's government has begun to block Cuban citizens from entering that country without a visa. That change in policy cuts off a key migration route to the U.S. The government Sunday said it was ending an exemption that allowed Cubans to enter visa-free.
