China Exploited Mail-In Voting in 2020 Using Fake IDs, FBI Concealed Intel: Kash Patel

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that he'd provided evidence to lawmakers of an effort by Chinese state-sponsored actors to meddle in the 2020 presidential election -- as well as an FBI cover-up.

As the eyes of the world focused on the potential outbreak of nuclear war in the Middle East, FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a political bombshell Monday night that raises new questions about election meddling efforts by both foreign actors and federal intelligence agencies.

Director Patel confirmed the story, originally reported by Just the News, that he had handed Congress a declassified intelligence report from President Donald Trump’s first term claiming China produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to flood the 2020 election with fraudulent mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.

Worse yet, the intelligence report was suppressed in an FBI-orchestrated cover-up operation.

The explosive August 2020 report was pulled from intelligence agencies around the time then-FBI chief Christopher Wray swore to Congress there were no foreign plots to interfere in the election that saw Biden defeat Donald Trump, according to Just the News.

According to the news outlet, the FBI’s tip came from a new confidential source in summer 2020, alleging Beijing was printing bogus licenses to create fake voter IDs for Chinese residents in the U.S., allowing them to cast mail-in votes for Biden.

Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized nearly 20,000 fake licenses around the same time—possible proof the intelligence was legitimate, the outlet reported.

Patel appeared to confirm the contents of the news report both in his comment to the outlet as well as subsequent social media posts.

“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people's Bureau,” Patel told Just the News. “To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election.”

“Specifically, these include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots—allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public,” Patel said.

“In accordance with Chairman Grassley’s request for documents, I have immediately declassified the material and turned the document over to the Chairman for further review,” he said.

Biden went on to post the largest general election total ever tallied by a U.S. presidential candidate, recording 81.3 million votes nationwide compared to President Trump’s 74.2 million.

For some reason, 3.1 million voters who turned out in 2020 to help propel Biden to his record-setting election feat sat out the presidential election four years later.

Vice President Kamala Harris was unable to maintain Biden’s shockingly large political coalition and lost the popular vote to Trump, 75 million votes to 77.3 million votes.

As a matter of comparison, President Barack Obama won handily in 2008 with 69.5 million votes and in 2012 with 65.9 million votes.
