A declassified House Intelligence Committee report dated Sept. 18, 2020, found that several intelligence reports that suggested Russian President Vladimir Putin aspired to help then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election were “substandard.”
Specifically, three reports published internally by the CIA after the election contained information that was potentially biased, implausible, unclear, or of uncertain origin, the House Intelligence Committee said in the report that was released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday.
