Overview

  • The 29-page annex to John Durham’s 2023 report includes emails that purportedly show Hillary Clinton approved a July 2016 plan to link Donald Trump to Russia.
  • Durham and U.S. intelligence agencies determined those key emails were likely composites created by Russian operatives and omitted them from his main report conclusions.
  • Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said the FBI possessed the intelligence for years without investigating, accusing the agency of ‘covering up’ the alleged plot.
  • President Trump, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and other GOP leaders have seized on the annex to call for criminal charges against Clinton campaign figures.
  • No new federal investigations or prosecutions have been launched since the annex’s release, and partisan disputes over the origins and oversight of the Trump-Russia probe continue.
