US EditionNew CIA Report Criticizes Investigation Into Russia's Support for Trump in 2016
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The CIA's internal review found procedural errors and politicization in the 2016 assessment but upheld key conclusions on Russian election interference, according to Director Ratcliffe.
- A newly declassified CIA report released on July 2, 2025, identified shortcomings in the agency’s evaluation of Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
- The review, ordered by CIA Director John Ratcliffe earlier this year, aimed to evaluate the production of the December 2016 classified intelligence assessment under a compressed timeline.
- It identified procedural anomalies including excessive involvement of senior officials and reliance on a single intelligence source for the judgment that Russia intended to help Donald Trump win.
- Ratcliffe described the process as "politically charged" and said the atypical analytic process occurred around an issue essential to democracy, while the review upheld that Russia sought to undermine U.S. democracy and damage Hillary Clinton.
- The findings preserve the core conclusion of Russian interference favoring Trump but may prompt calls for enhanced analytic independence, stricter tradecraft adherence, and greater intelligence transparency.
