A declassified intelligence report sent to Congress links the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
The reports were not fully investigated in 2020, but were recalled by intelligence agencies around the time that former FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that there were no known foreign election interference efforts.
“The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. “I have immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over to the Chairman Grassley for further review.”
Patel told Just the News that the documents sent to Grassley include “allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots – allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.”
In 2021, then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, now the CIA Director, wrote in a letter to Congress that the “People’s Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently seized thousands of counterfeit licenses originating from China.
CBP officers intercepted 4,345 counterfeit licenses in total. Discussing the counterfeit licenses discovered by officials, Michael Pfeiffer, the Area Port Director of Chicago, stated, “Foreign Terrorist Organizations, criminal organizations, and persons involved in fraud schemes use these counterfeit IDs to avoid attracting attention to their illegal activities. Our CBP officers were able to identify these very realistic counterfeits and stop them from reaching their destinations.”
