FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass produced fake US driver’s licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.
The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 werenāt corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies around the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.
The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to the bureau that the intelligence hadnāt been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed even though there was evidence of the fake licenses. Ā
“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people’s Bureau,ā Patel told Just the News in a statement. āTo that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election.
āSpecifically, these 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,ā Patel added. āIn accordance with Chairman Grassley’s request for documents, I have immediately declassified the material and turned the document over to the Chairman for further review.”
Officials who have seen the documents told Just the News the FBI had a relatively new confidential source who provided information in summer 2020 that the Chinese government was manufacturing and exporting fake US driver’s licenses as part of a plot to create voter identities for Chinese residents living in the United States so they could vote with fake mail-in ballots.
The intelligence source claimed the plot was specifically designed to benefit Joe Biden, officials said.
Officials said the intelligence report was recalled within a few weeks and the allegations never fully investigated, on the grounds that Ā the source needed to be re-interviewed.
But in fact another agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had intercepted nearly 20,000 fake licenses around the time the intelligence came in a possible corroboration of the report, officials said.
