In a speech at the third night of the Republican National Convention, former Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell spotlighted the role Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden played in the investigation of the Trump campaign.

During his brief tenure as the acting chief of the DNI, Grenell declassified a number of crucial documents about the investigation of and spying on Trump-campaign associates. Grenell said that in his role he got to see the entire picture about the operation and said “what I saw made me sick to my stomach.”
