Intel Chief Declassifies CIA Documents Regarding Alleged Clinton Plan To Link Trump To Russia?s Hacking
October 06, 2020
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified portions of two documents that show the CIA picked up intelligence regarding Hillary Clinton?s alleged approval of a campaign to link Donald Trump to Russia?s hacking efforts.
Ratcliffe declassified notes taken in 2016 by then-CIA Director John Brennan during a meeting with President Obama and his national security advisers regarding Russia?s election meddling efforts.
The intelligence chief also declassified sections of a Counterintelligence Operation Lead (CIOL) memo that the CIA sent on Sept. 7, 2016 to then-FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok, the top counterintelligence investigator on Crossfire Hurricane.
?Per FBI verbal request, CIA provided the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date,? reads an unredacted portion of the CIOL.
The memo referred to information related to ?US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton?s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.?
Brennan has testified that he created a so-called ?fusion cell? in July 2016 that consisted of officials from the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency to investigate Russia?s election interference.
The CIA documents, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, were cited last week in a letter that Ratcliffe sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham.
That letter said that U.S. intelligence ?gained insight? in late July 2016 into ?Russian intelligence analysis? that asserted that Clinton had approved a plan to link Trump to Russia?s hacking efforts in order to distract from her use of a private email server.
