Former Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf changed and delayed an intelligence report detailing Russian interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to a new review by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) top watchdog. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) at DHS, through its Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), released the redacted results of its investigation into Russian interference in the election — “DHS Actions Related to an I&A Intelligence Product Deviated from Standard Procedures” — on Tuesday.
The decision to deviate from DHS standard review procedures “raised objectivity concerns,” according to the report, and led to the perception that intentional interference by a top DHS official was meant to help in Donald Trump’s reelection attempt.
Acting Secretary Chad Wolf was an obvious traitor from the get-go. Now we know for sure. https://t.co/b1DnlgpCwh
