CIA Director: Hidden Docs Will Explode Russiagate Cover-Up

CIA Director John Ratcliffe just issued a bombshell warning: the classified annex of John Durham’s Russiagate report is finally set to be released—and what it contains, he says, will “blow the lid off” everything Americans thought they knew about the Trump-Russia narrative.
Speaking Sunday on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Ratcliffe told host Maria Bartiromo that the suppressed intelligence from Durham’s 2023 report details both Hillary Clinton’s and the FBI’s roles in pushing a now-discredited Russia collusion story to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidency.
“What’s going to come out is the underlying intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “And what that intelligence shows is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan… to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier… to amplify the lie and bury the truth.”
This declassification push could expose key internal FBI communications and documents the public has never seen—material that, according to Ratcliffe, will contradict testimony previously given by Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan.
As Director of National Intelligence in 2020, Ratcliffe declassified documents showing that the CIA had referred Clinton to the FBI after picking up Russian intelligence suggesting she greenlit a smear plan to tie Trump to Russian hacking. At the time, this was buried under a media narrative that framed Trump as compromised by the Kremlin.
Durham’s original report confirmed that the infamous Steele dossier—funded by the Clinton campaign and the DNC—was used to obtain FISA surveillance warrants against Trump adviser Carter Page, even though the dossier’s claims were largely unverified or outright false. Durham further noted that Clinton’s team also hyped an unfounded story about a secret Trump-Alfa Bank server link.
Now, according to Ratcliffe, the classified appendix will offer an even clearer roadmap: names, evidence, and intelligence pointing to a coordinated political effort to defame Trump under the guise of a national security investigation.
“There’s an opportunity here to finally expose how these people really did conspire to run a hoax, a fraud on the American people and against Donald Trump’s presidency,” Ratcliffe said.
He pointed to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s newly formed strike force—created after DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral on the Russia hoax—as the mechanism through which the DOJ is preparing to act on the intelligence. The annex could not only validate those criminal referrals, but potentially bring legal consequences for key players in the Obama-era intelligence and political apparatus.
Durham’s public report noted that this intelligence should have prompted “far greater care” by the FBI and warned that the agency failed to share crucial information among its own investigators. The classified section is expected to go further, explaining how FBI leadership deliberately overlooked that evidence and pressed forward with surveillance and prosecutions that relied on politically motivated sources.
With calls for accountability growing louder, Ratcliffe’s announcement suggests the curtain is finally lifting. What’s next could shake the foundations of what many Americans believed was a legitimate investigation—and instead reveal a politically weaponized scheme to destroy Trump before he even took office.
