The intelligence communities classified assessment on foreign threats to the 2020 U.S. elections was set to be released by Dec. 18. It is unclear how long the report will be delayed.
EXCLUSIVE: The 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment focused on foreign election influence will be delayed, Fox News has learned, amid a dispute among senior intelligence analysts over whether China sought to influence the election.
"This afternoon the DNI was notified by career intelligence officials that the Intelligence Community will not meet the December 18 deadline, set by Executive Order and Congress, to submit the IC’s classified assessment on foreign threats to the 2020 U.S. elections," Amanda Schoch, Assistant DNI for Strategic Communications said in a statement to Fox News.
"The IC has received relevant reporting since the election and a number of agencies have not finished coordinating on the product," Schoch continued. "The DNI is committed to providing this report to our customers expeditiously."
The report was expected to be released by Friday, but sources familiar told Fox News that there is a dispute within the intelligence community over what should be included in this 2020 ICA.
Sources told Fox News that a number of senior intelligence analysts are "adamant" that China sought to influence the 2020 presidential election, while a number of others are downplaying China’s activities surrounding the election.
Some analysts claim that China’s efforts were "minimal" or only plans that ultimately were not acted upon, while others are arguing there is "ample raw intelligence" about China’s intentions and actions.
Bloomberg first reported the dispute.

PATRIOT PING
Influenced?
Heck, their candidate is claiming to the “president elect”.
“career” people need to GO!
Just covering up their own complicity in it.
Not only did they seek to influence the election, but the succeeded. Their guy is now the president elect.
Of course China tried to influence this election. You all (politi-whores) just do not want to jeopardize your Beijing Bucks.
I’m hoping this is the trigger for enactment of the EO.
Let the dissenters file their own attachment to the report with justification
From what has been leaked there is solid evidence of China’s manipulation in multiple sources including hard sources
DNI should insist on the deadline, if he has to bring each of the 17 agency reps in and lock them down until the report is delivered
Ultimately the DNI is the ultimate sign off and the POTUS reviews the report and decides.
NOT TRUE!!
China, the brokers of American destiny for those few pieces of silver to our elected and unelected masters.
‘Donald Trump is not in charge’ is the message being sent. We hear it loud and clear, and if WE hear it so does Trump. *I gotta get more microwave popcorn*
When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821
Fox News has learned-— translation: not bloody likely, in view of the current happenings, the report came out earlier than this “last day”. This is misdirection from the derp state.
The IC is retarded?
Can’t figure out squat in a week or so?
It has already been issued. This is purposeful misdirection. imho. There are things going on to indicate this— reading the tea leaves.
My assumption from this news, is that the clowns want to delay the report until after Jan 20. For reasons which should require no explanation.
For some reason the “Russia, Russia” crowd can’t say “China, China.”
> The IC is retarded?
They’re still government workers at heart.
The communists gave biden at least $1.5 billion!
Biden will do anything for the communists.
