Whistleblower Alleges 2020 CCP Election Influence Ops Targeting Trump Were Suppressed

Based on my reporting, China’s goal was to “impede” President Trump’s re-election and "denigrate" him as a candidate. I understand the DNI is actively working to declassify the records.
According to these accounts, the CIA, then led by Director Gina Haspel, would not document the Chinese influence operations, in a formal way, out of concern that President Trump would use the intelligence to his advantage.
Based on the complaint, senior intelligence officials are accused of heavy-handed editing of the whistleblower’s reports about China’s sweeping influence operations during the 2020 election cycle.
In some instances, senior CIA officials are accused of taking “pen to paper” to strike sections because “the intelligence assessments would help Trump.” I am told some track changes make “specific reference to domestic politics.”
