ODNI Says Report on Foreign Threats During 2020 Election Delayed

BY MIMI NGUYEN LY December 16, 2020 Updated: December 16, 2020

Excerpts from the article:

“The Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced late Wednesday that DNI John Ratcliffe has been notified that the intelligence community will not be meeting the Dec. 18 deadline set by an executive order to report on foreign threats during the November election as “agencies have not finished coordinating on the product.”

“Dec. 18 marks 45 days after the Nov. 3 general election, where, according to Trump’s executive order in 2018, the DNI was expected to deliver a report regarding “to the maximum extent ascertainable” whether any interference attempts took place, and the nature of such interference, methods used, and who was involved and authorized such efforts.”

“The order also directs the U.S. government to impose automatic sanctions on foreign nations, individuals, and entities who are found to be involved in trying to interfering in U.S. elections.”

“Earlier this year, Ratcliffe said that the biggest threat to election security in the United States is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”

“China poses a greater national security threat to the U.S. than any other nation—economically, militarily, and technologically. That includes threats of election influence and interference,” Ratcliffe told Fox News in a statement.”

“Ratcliffe has repeatedly identified China as an overall national security threat. He penned an op-ed on Dec. 3 in the Wall Street Journal, saying that “the People’s Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II.”
