Declassified Durham annex reveals FBI ignored evidence of a Clinton plan to create Russia hoax

Published July 31, 2025 10:21am ET



The newly declassified annex to special counsel John Durham‘s 2023 report reveals that the Obama-era FBI failed to investigate credible intelligence indicating the Hillary Clinton campaign was orchestrating a plan to link President Donald Trump to Russia falsely, with indications that she expected the FBI would aid in the effort.

The 24-page annex, declassified Thursday at the direction of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sheds additional light on what Durham called one of the most serious episodes of political weaponization in modern intelligence history.
