An intelligence report distributed within the FBI in August 2020 and then withdrawn alleges that the People’s Republic of China hoped to tilt the 2020 presidential election in a Biden direction by distributing many thousands of fake IDs to noncitizens. But the matter “wasn’t fully probed” at the time and voters never heard about it (“Trump’s FBI unveils shocking details of Chinese plot using ‘fake ballots’ to defeat him in 2020 election,” Daily Mail, June 17, 2025).
FBI Director Kash Patel said on Twitter-X: “The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP.
“Specifically, 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.”
According to Daily Mail:
The report was originally sent out to FBI offices around the country, but the memo was later recalled within weeks and never fully investigated on the grounds that the source needed to be interviewed again.
The withdrawal came around the time that then-FBI Director Christopher Wray publicly testified that there were not any known election interference operations in the 2020 election, the officials said.
The documents were requested by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who first raised concerns that the intelligence had not been fully investigated despite there being evidence of fake drivers’ licenses….
Sources familiar with the document told Just the News that the FBI report was based on a relatively new confidential source.
The informant warned the agency that the Chinese government was producing fake U.S. drivers’ licenses as a part of a plot to provide Chinese residents in the U.S. with forms of ID to vote in the 2020 election.
Internal FBI memos about the report were supposedly recalled “in order to reinterview the source,” according to Senator Grassley’s office.
Was there any “reinterview”? The FBI investigation seems to have simply stopped dead at this point.
Around the time the FBI was acting to delete its investigation, or reinterview the source, or whatever, U.S. Customs “intercepted nearly 20,000 fake licenses.”
After the FBI recalled its memos about the report, it also instructed recipients of the report itself to “destroy all copies of the original report and remove the original report from all computer holdings.”
Add this FBI coverup to all the other electoral non-happenings—“2020 election conspiracy theories,” per NBC News—that helped the addled Democratic candidate to hobble across the finish line in 2020.
