WASHINGTON—Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is asking the FBI for additional records regarding alleged Chinese election interference files after finding the agency had sought to destroy relevant information under its previous leadership.

FBI Director Kash Patel declassified and shared a file with Grassley a day earlier, an action Grassley said arose from the senator’s request for an intelligence information report from its Albany Field Office dated Sept. 25, 2020, according to a June 17 letter Grassley shared with The Epoch Times.
