FBI officials suppressed intelligence pointing to Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election, and newly revealed bureau documents show they likely did it to avoid embarrassing FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.
In testimony to a Senate committee on Sept. 24, 2020, Mr. Wray downplayed the threat of a voter fraud plot in the elections. The next day, according to the documents, FBI officials recalled an investigative report showing China was using voter fraud to boost Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden in the presidential race.
The internal FBI documents were made public Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican.
