In a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclosed that the Biden administration had compiled a dossier on “at least one” current member of President Donald Trump’s leadership team. The individual, whose identity remains undisclosed, was labeled a “purveyor of disinformation” by the previous State Department.
The dossier was part of the work conducted by the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), an Obama-era creation allegedly designed to counter foreign propaganda. Under Biden, however, the GEC reportedly turned its focus inward—tracking and cataloging posts from Americans, particularly those aligned with conservative or pro-Trump views. Rubio confirmed the dossier included social media posts, hinting at broader surveillance activities on political opponents.
Rubio added, “And by the way, I’m not gonna say who it is, I’ll leave it up to them. There’s at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation…We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals.”
The GEC has been under fire for years for its questionable tactics, with watchdog groups warning that it blurred the line between national security and domestic political targeting. Its closure reflects a broader push by President Trump to root out partisan influence across federal agencies.
This latest revelation adds to growing evidence that the Biden administration used taxpayer-funded institutions to monitor, label, and potentially silence those who opposed its agenda. Rubio’s disclosure intensifies scrutiny over how deep the politicization ran and what other tools may have been misused against Americans holding traditional or conservative views.
As the Trump administration continues to purge hostile remnants of Biden-era operations, the exposure of this dossier signals a renewed focus on restoring trust and transparency in government.
