FBI Uncovers China’s Alleged Meddling in 2020 Election

Listen up, patriots—newly declassified FBI documents reveal a jaw-dropping plot that smells like meddling of the highest order! In 2020, while Americans battled COVID and mail-in voting surged, China allegedly cooked up a scheme to flood the U.S. with fake driver’s licenses to cast “tens of thousands” if not millions of fraudulent votes for Joe Biden. The FBI knew, yet the intel was buried faster than a politician’s promise after election day. Why? Let’s dive into this scandal that could make your blood boil.

Meddling Uncovered: Fake IDs for Fake Votes

In August 2020, a confidential source tipped off the FBI about China’s meddling. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reportedly churned out nearly 20,000 fake U.S. driver’s licenses, shipped mostly from Hong Kong to Midwest battleground states. These IDs, using real American data possibly swiped from TikTok, aimed to let ineligible Chinese residents vote via mail-in ballots for Biden. U.S. Customs nabbed 19,888 of these fakes in July 2020, offering some corroboration. Yet, the FBI sat on it. Shocking, right?

Recall Ruckus: Why Hide the Meddling?

Here’s where it gets juicy. The FBI sent this raw intelligence to agencies on August 24, 2020, but weeks later, yanked it back with a flimsy excuse: they needed to “re-interview” the source. Worse, they ordered all copies destroyed and scrubbed from systems. Consequently, no full investigation happened, despite evidence piling up. Then-FBI Director Chris Wray even testified in September 2020 that no foreign interference plots existed. Coincidence? Or a cover-up to protect Biden’s campaign?

Former FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on foreign interference plots, oversaw the 2022 FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, and resigned in 2025. He was succeeded by Kash Patel, who later claimed to uncover related controversies.

Grassley’s Crusade Against Election Meddling

Thankfully, Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican Iowan bulldog for truth, smelled something fishy. He demanded the FBI dig deeper, leading to FBI Director Kash Patel declassifying these bombshell documents on June 16, 2025. Grassley’s now pushing for answers: Who ordered the recall? Why was it buried? Patel’s on the case, vowing transparency. However, the question remains—did this meddling tip the scales in swing states like Arizona or Georgia, where Biden won by mere thousands?

The Bigger Picture: Trust in Elections

This isn’t just about 2020; it’s about trust. The FBI’s hush-hush move, coupled with Wray’s questionable testimony, fuels doubts about election integrity. If China’s meddling went unchecked, what else slipped through? Moreover, why destroy evidence of a national security threat? Patel’s declassification is a step toward truth, but the American people deserve the full story. So, what’s next—will we ever know the extent of this plot?

In summary, declassified FBI reports expose China’s alleged 2020 election meddling with fake IDs and ballots, buried by a recall order. Grassley and Patel are fighting for answers, but the cover-up raises red flags. Can we trust our elections if foreign plots are swept under the rug?
