FBI Director Releases Evidence of China’s 2020 Election Meddling
Patel Declassifies Report Alleging CCP Fake ID Scheme
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have declassified an August 2020 intelligence report, turned over to Congress, alleging a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plot to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. The report, from the FBI’s Albany Field Office, claims China used TikTok data to create fraudulent U.S. driver’s licenses, enabling ineligible voters to cast tens of thousands of mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.
Titled “Chinese Government Production and Export of Fraudulent US Driver’s Licenses to Chinese Sympathizers in the United States, in Order to Create Tens of Thousands of Fraudulent Mail-in Votes for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden,” the report states, “China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address,” to produce authentic-looking licenses. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley prompted the report’s discovery through whistleblower information.
FBI headquarters recalled the report, instructing agencies to “destroy all copies” to “re-interview the source,” around the time former Director Christopher Wray testified on September 24, 2020: “We have not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.” The Foreign Influence Task Force failed to fully investigate, despite corroborating leads. Patel and Bongino stated, “Previous FBI leadership chose to play politics and withhold key information from the American people – exposing the weaponization of law enforcement.” They pledge transparency to restore FBI trust.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized nearly 20,000 counterfeit driver’s licenses from China in 2020, though no direct link to the alleged scheme is confirmed. No evidence shows fraudulent ballots were cast, but Patel vows further review with Grassley.
FBI Director, Kash Patel, posted the news on X, stating:
“Former FBI leadership withheld the facts and misled the public on China’s 2020 election interference. And they did so for political gain. This FBI is exposing all of it and giving Americans the truth they deserve.”
