The civilian board overseeing U.S. intelligence agencies will investigate whether political bias prevented analysts from sharing evidence with Congress and President Trump regarding alleged Chinese election interference, according to chairman Devin Nunes.
Nunes said it will need to be determined why the intelligence was not made public or fully shared with lawmakers and the American public. He said the board will work to determine when the intelligence was available and why it was not disseminated.
The probe follows a report last week from Just The News citing declassified documents that Chinese intelligence accessed voter registration data in multiple states in 2020 and conducted influence efforts. Intelligence analysts allegedly withheld information due to internal bias against Trump.
Nunes, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman who was appointed by Trump to lead the advisory board, noted the board is working with the CIA as part of the effort.
