Re-up my September scoop on the U.S. intel assessment that Russia was interfering in the election to denigrate Biden. (Some seem to think this is new today, it's not) washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
What you have today is a public release of a declassified and updated version of the intel assessment I reported on last year, BEFORE the election. The release just confirms my reporting and adds new details, but the premise of Russian actions and intentions is not new.
Of course, the released document also covers several other countries, which were not a subject of my previous report. So I'm not saying there's no news in it, I'm just saying the Putin working to denigrate Biden part isn't new.
What's missing in the declassified version (but was in the classified version) were the citations. They identify the "Trump administration-linked US persons" who aided and abetted the Russian scheme. SPOILER ALERT: It's Rudy and his cohorts, aided by GOP lawmakers and MAGA media.
