Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe confirmed that there was foreign interference in the 2020 election, according to CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge.
"Well DNI Ratcliffe leads the 17 intelligence agencies and he has access to the most highly classified information that is held by the US government. And he told CBS News that there was foreign interference by China, Iran, and Russia in November of this year and he is anticipating a public report on those findings in January," Herridge said.
Her letter outlines new affidavits from two forensic experts who allege that international interference took place in the 2020 election and that Dominion systems were connected to foreign systems around the globe.
The office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that their upcoming report includes information about "Relevant" foreign threats from the recent election.
"The IC has received relevant reporting since the election and a number of agencies have not finished coordinating on the product," said Amanda Schoch, a spokeswoman for the office, adding that Ratcliffe remains committed to an expeditious release of the report.
ODNI announced late Wednesday that the Intelligence Community has notified Ratcliffe that they will not meet the Dec. 18 deadline set by President Trump's executive order to submit the report on foreign threats during the November election as "Agencies have not finished coordinating on the product."
Dec. 18 marks 45 days after the Nov. 3 general election, when, according to Trump's executive order from 2018, the DNI was expected to deliver a report regarding "To the maximum extent ascertainable" whether any interference attempts took place, and the nature of such interference, methods used, and who was involved and authorized such efforts.
