p dir=”ltr”>House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Wednesday demanded the FBI turn over all evidence related to a counterintelligence operation during the 2020 election codenamed "Round River" that classified President Donald Trump’s own administration officials and political allies as “conduits” of Russian disinformation.
<
p dir=”ltr”>The letter from Jordan to FBI Director Kash Patel was prompted by the first substantive revelations about the Round River operation contained in declassified documents made public last month by the White House Government Transparency Task Force.

p dir=”ltr”>“The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) operation, codenamed Round River, during the 2020 presidential election. Recently released information reveals that the operation categorized prominent Republicans and conservative organizations as ‘conduits’ of Russian disinformation, while certain Democrats such as President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, were ‘targets’ of such disinformation,” Jordan wrote.
<
p dir=”ltr”>“In response to this information, you issued a statement suggesting that Round River was used as political lawfare to suppress evidence tying the Biden family to corruptive business dealings with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, rather than offering a complete picture of potential foreign threats,” he continued. "We appreciate your continued transparency, and we write to request additional information regarding Round River.”

p dir=”ltr”>Among the evidence that Jordan requested were the confidential human source files for 14 informants who Patel revealed last month were providing derogatory information to the U.S. government about then-presidential candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 election.
