Overview
- The declassified report claims the Chinese Communist Party planned to mass-produce fake U.S. driver’s licenses to cast fraudulent mail-in ballots for then-candidate Joe Biden
- FBI Director Kash Patel declassified the August 2020 intelligence and handed it to Sen. Chuck Grassley on June 16 as part of a push for greater agency transparency
- The document was recalled shortly after its creation in 2020 and never underwent a full FBI investigation under previous leadership
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted nearly 20,000 counterfeit driver’s licenses during the same period the alleged plot surfaced
- Grassley has urged the FBI to revisit the case and is considering hearings to assess whether political factors influenced the bureau’s initial handling of the intelligence
