CIA DIRECTOR JOHN RATCLIFFE🚨:

To support President Trump's transparency initiatives, CIA has taken significant steps, including providing declassified documents for public release.

Protecting our democracy and the integrity of our elections from foreign influence and interference remains paramount.

This is why we produced key intelligence reporting showing that Venezuela's government had developed capabilities to manipulate electronic voting systems, raising serious concerns for U.S. election infrastructure security.

I have long publicly highlighted China's nefarious efforts to influence the 2020 election against President Trump, as evidenced by my dissent to the flawed January 2021 Intelligence Community Assessment.

The documents declassified today shed further light on China's intentions.

These matters deserve public scrutiny to ensure our democracy's foundation - the security and public confidence in our elections - is unassailable.
