The intelligence community was set to release its classified report on foreign threats to the 2020 election on Dec. 18, but the release will now be postponed due to an ongoing dispute among senior intelligence analysts over China’s efforts to interfere in 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,” wrote Assistant DNI for Strategic Communications Amanda Schoch in a statement.
