In this PJ Media article, Tim O’Brien questions whether former FBI official Nikki Floris ran a “shadow government” during the 2020 election cycle, based on declassified documents.
- Floris, then-deputy assistant director in the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division and election security lead, wrote she was “basically running a shadow government across the FBI.”
- She was involved in recalling an Intelligence Information Report on Chinese election interference, including fake driver’s licenses for mail-in ballots.
- The report was suppressed shortly after FBI Director Christopher Wray testified there was no coordinated national voter fraud.
- Floris previously testified in 2019 about foreign election threats but downplayed specific hacking into electoral systems.
- Declassified records show efforts to limit intelligence on China’s activities reaching Trump and Congress.
- Floris was later promoted under Wray and left the FBI after Kash Patel’s appointment.
