The FBI has documents alleging Chinese ties to the production of fraudulent driver’s licenses and fake mail-in ballots intended to be used on behalf of then-presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden in the 2020 election, FBI Director Kash Patel said.
Mr. Patel, in a late Monday post on X, said recently uncovered FBI documents “detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” the acronym for the Chinese Communist Party.
“I have immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over” to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley for further review, he said.
Mr. Patel posted a link to a news report that said an FBI intelligence report had raised concerns Beijing had mass-produced fake American driver’s licenses in a plan to skew the 2020 election with phony mail-in ballots backing Mr. Biden, who won the election that November.
President Trump has long claimed the election he lost was “rigged” against him.
Mr. Patel praised the oversight work of Mr. Grassley and said the FBI is continuing to provide “unprecedented transparency.
The documents supplied to the senator had been requested earlier by Mr. Grassley, he said.
Spokesmen for the FBI and Mr. Grassley did not respond to requests for comment.
