‘Alarming’: FBI director reveals Chinese plot to create fake mail-in ballots in 2020 election
FBI Director Kash Patel made a bombshell announcement Monday night concerning an “alarming” scheme by the Chinese Communist Party to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
“The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” Patel wrote on X.
“I have immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over to the Chairman Grassley for further review.”

The FBI disregarded the information in August 2020.
John Solomon at Just the News reported: “The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about 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 hadn’t been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed even though there was evidence of the fake licenses.”
“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people’s Bureau,” Patel told Just the News in a statement. “To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election.
“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,” Patel also said.
Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit posted a headline stating: “Chris Wray hid this like he did the Iranian breach of the 2020 election system.”
He reported: “At around this same time then FBI Director Chris Wray said Russia was ‘absolutely intent’ on trying to interfere in the 2020 election. He ignored the Chinese threat.”
“Chris Wray knew that the Iranians breached the election system in 2020 and stole 100,000 identities and Wray hid this from the American public.”
