(CNN) — An official in Fulton County, Georgia, announced the county will file a lawsuit Monday over the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records.

Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said the lawsuit will “challenge the legality of the warrant and the seizure of sensitive election records, and force the government to return the ballots taken.”

Arrington said that the county’s attorneys are expected to file a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia to fight the action of Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI.

The FBI served a warrant last Wednesday at the Fulton County election office, near Atlanta, Georgia, taking 700 boxes of election materials as it probes alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“I’ve asked the county attorney to take any and all steps available to fight this criminal search warrant,” Arrington said Monday in a press release.

“The search warrant, I believe, is not proper, but I think that there are ways that we can limit it,” the statement continues. “We want to ask for forensic accounting, we want the documents to stay in the State of Georgia under seal, and we want to do whatever we can to protect voter information.”

Arrington said that while the FBI had authorization to copy the records from a separate court order, he believes they did not have proper permission to take physical custody of the original 2020 ballots and voters rolls.

“They got copies of our voter rolls and all the original ballots,” Arrington said.

“Now we cannot verify that we’ve received everything back because there was no chain-of-custody inventory taken at the time the records were seized.”

The FBI did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment about Fulton County’s anticipated lawsuit.

An FBI spokesperson at the scene on Wednesday told CNN that the materials would be taken to the FBI central Records Complex in Virginia.

(CNN) — Does bad taste make for good fashion? At the 2026 Grammy Awards, several celebrities opted for clothes that were a little odd and a little ugly. Arguably they were also the most memorable.

Amid some of the more conventionally tasteful outfits — see Hailey Bieber in a black strapless Aläia dress, or Madison Beer dolled up in an Andrew Kwon gown — an abundance of head-scratching looks kept us glued to the event.

Cher on stage in a leather and lace look, with a shredded leather skirt that gave the distinct impression it was falling down. Amy Taylor, frontwoman of Australian pub rock band Amyl and the Sniffers, wore a flesh-toned catsuit with hot pink lace cut-outs, overlaid with a fluffy pink bolero and a cascading floor-length fringe. Jon Batiste in an entirely rhinestone military jacket. That’s without mentioning the red carpet mainstays: Chappell Roan in a custom Mugler nipple-clasped dress, a remake of the original salacious dress from 1998, reissued with prosthetic areolas; Bad Bunny in Schiaparelli’s first ever custom menswear look — a velvet tuxedo with plunging lapels and a kinky, corset lace-up that ran along his entire back; Lola Young in a sweater and tracksuit pants from Vivienne Westwood, smartened up with a stripey tie; while Shaboozey fully committed to an outfit of wacky halves: a Ralph Lauren tuxedo jacket and vest paired with belted jeans, also by the brand.

While the definition of bad taste is subjective, it doesn’t always have to be as ostentatious as Batiste’s rhinestones, or Roan’s nipple-hanging gown. Billie Eilish, wearing the niche Swedish brand Hodakova, tested the boundaries of judgment with an outfit that was deliberately frumpy. Eilish’s jacket and skirt were made from reworked men’s trousers, with every original pocket, belt loop and seam from the pant’s previous form made visible in the new look. Her long white socks fell just below the knee, making her sock suspenders — the eternally unflattering male equivalent to the much-fetishized female stocking suspenders — redundant. From the perspective of looking beautiful in the conventional Valentino Garavani way, Eilish’s outfit was ineffectively “wrong.” But there was something deeply engrossing about it — the abundance of useless straps, the socks and pointed stilettos, the 1950s British grandma coin purse — that made you want to look more closely.

“Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer,” Prada told T Magazine in 2013. “The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human. It touches the bad and the dirty side of people.” On the runways for both Prada and Miu Miu, the designer has made a point of challenging our sartorial prejudices in the name of newness. Prada’s Spring-Summer 1996 collection “Banal Eccentricity” (famously dubbed as “Ugly Chic”) used patterns typically found on 1950s curtains and table clothes and made them into dowdy knee-length shirts, polo-shirts and dresses modelled with chunky sandals. Over twenty years later, Prada has continued with her distinct, often paradoxical approac
