CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been at the center of major news this week following the declassification of a 29-page annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. This newly released annex, unveiled July 31, was supported for declassification by Ratcliffe together with FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The document alleges that the 2016 Clinton presidential campaign sought to tie then candidate Donald Trump to Russian cyber activities to deflect attention from Clinton’s own email controversy. According to coverage by The Henryettan, the annex details an email intercepted by U.S. intelligence that claims Clinton approved a plan to link Trump to Russian hackers, though the authenticity of the communication remains under dispute and may have emerged as part of a Russian disinformation effort.The annex provides new context claiming the FBI and Obama administration officials may have mishandled related intelligence and ignored warnings that parts of the Trump-Russia narrative could originate from Clinton’s team or disinformation sources. Ratcliffe and his allies argue that the annex exposes what they describe as a coordinated attempt to weaponize federal intelligence agencies against a political opponent. Fox News reports that the declassification was tightly coordinated by Ratcliffe with top U.S. law enforcement and intelligence chiefs, and the UNCENSORED materials will be reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee before public release.Meanwhile, on the Sunday Morning Futures program, Ratcliffe hinted that prosecution remains possible for former officials including John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, and James Comey, since key testimonies tied to the initial Russia probe occurred within the last five years. He argued that inconsistencies between these testimonies and the now declassified underlying intelligence may create grounds for legal accountability. Responding publicly, Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have rejected these fresh allegations as politically motivated and unfounded, emphasizing that every credible review has confirmed Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. However, the implications of the declassified material have fueled calls for further investigation and public debate over the legitimacy of past intelligence activities.In other headlines, Ratcliffe released a statement affirming the recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, supporting claims by administration officials that the operations rendered key sites inoperable.Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe.
