Ratcliffe sends watchdog referral and begins declassification on classified House GOP report on Russian meddling
(Worthy News) -The nation’s spy chief has sent the intelligence community’s watchdog an investigative referral related to a 2018 Republican-led House Intelligence Committee report that critiqued some of the tradecraft in the Obama-era Intelligence Community Assessment of 2017 on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe sent a letter to acting Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Thomas Monheim asking him to review an investigative referral first sent to the CIA’s watchdog by then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes after the committee led by the California Republican released its Russian meddling report in 2018.
Ratcliffe, who has overseen the nation’s 17 spy agencies since May, said he had also begun the declassification process for the secretive intelligence underlying the Nunes referral. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
