(From NTD News) New details shed light on how the FBI handled early warnings of Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election. On July 1, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released internal FBI emails from 2020. The emails show that an internal FBI report on voter fraud was quietly pulled and never made public. That's because the agency said the report would’ve contradicted testimony from then-director Christopher Wray, who said he hadn’t seen coordinated voter fraud in major elections, according to the emails. FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates reviewed the case and said the recall was “abnormal.” He noted the source was reliable—and the case wasn’t closed due to a lack of credible information. The initial FBI report, which circulated ahead of the 2020 primaries, said Chinese officials forged a large number of fake U.S. documents and shipped them to tens of thousands of college students and "immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party" living in the United States. These people could then register to vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden, even though they, in reality, weren’t eligible to vote. The fake IDs aligned with a July 2020 news release by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which said the agency seized nearly 20,000 fake U.S. driver’s licenses shipped from China at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. The day after Wray’s testimony, FBI headquarters changed its policy on handling election-related intelligence, making it harder to access the original report. One FBI analyst said the information wasn’t being shared for political reasons, which goes against the mission to stay neutral and just report the facts. “Most concerning to me, is stating the reporting would contradict with Director Wray’s testimony,” the analyst wrote. “I found this troubling because one of the reasons we aren’t putting this out is for a political reason, which goes directly against our organization’s mission to remain apolitical and simply state what we know. Likewise, at the field operational level, I do not feel it is our job to assess whether or not our intelligence aligns with the Director.” Grassley called the move political and said it showed the FBI under Wray was deeply broken. He said intelligence should always be fully investigated—to determine if it’s legitimate or just rumors. Grassley also praised the current FBI leadership under Kash Patel for working to restore transparency.
