Investigative journalist John Solomon of Just the News says an intelligence review – reportedly involving top officials from the CIA, DNI, and FBI – could shed new light on what Chinese actors were doing when they accessed U.S. voter-related data in 2020 and how they may have used it.

A newly declassified intelligence review reported by Just the News alleges that U.S. intelligence analysts downplayed or withheld information about Chinese interference efforts in the 2020 election because they opposed President Donald Trump’s China policies. According to the report, some analysts feared the intelligence would be used by what one described as “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to justify a tougher stance on Beijing, raising fresh questions about whether political bias influenced how election-related intelligence was handled inside the federal government.

Although Solomon has already reviewed some documents and spoken with sources, officials tell him that DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe are working to declassify what could be a bombshell set of more records detailing China’s actions involving elections in the United States – and identifying which U.S. officials knew about them, and when.

Michigan in the crosshairs: coincidence… or something more?

If the intelligence is fully declassified, it won’t just revive old debates – it could sharpen new concerns about how voter data may have been exploited. Officials have long noted that voter registration data includes sensitive information like driver’s license details. That information could be used to build targeted influence campaigns or impersonation efforts. At the same time, earlier intelligence warnings included concerns about counterfeit driver’s licenses potentially being used in mail-in voting schemes.

That’s where Michigan enters the chat.

A prior Michigan News Source report raised questions about Michigan driver’s license anomalies and voter rolls during the 2020 cycle. Now, with confirmed intelligence that foreign actors reportedly accessed voter data – and with renewed scrutiny over fake IDs – the obvious question is: are these threads connected, or just overlapping controversies?

No definitive link has been established between China and fraudulent mail-in ballots – yet. But the overlap is hard to ignore. As more information comes out about China’s links to the 2020 election, maybe the Great Lakes state and others across the country will finally get some answers.
