Next, newly declassified intelligence reports are shedding light on a Chinese Communist Party influence campaign in the U.S. The documents outline alleged efforts to shape public opinion, lobby policymakers, and amplify divisions leading into the 2020 election. NDD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley reports. The Chinese Communist Party's influence in the U.S. may be far larger than Americans realize. Newly declassified intelligence reports, along with federal lobbying disclosures, show that the Chinese regime and Chinese regime-linked entities spent more than $100 million in foreign registration and lobbying expenses in 2025 alone. These are Chinese agents paying lobbyists to influence policy in Washington. And $100 million is just what's been recorded. The State Department in 2023 said that China spends billions of dollars annually on foreign information manipulation around the world. And then there's groups like the Chinese Students and Scholars Association and the United Front Work Department, which don't need to file disclosures even though they operate as Chinese Communist Party fronts. For example, several American journalists have been gifted expense-paid curated trips to China and then report afterward positively on the CCP. The newly released intelligence documents also show CCP influence in the 2020 election. They show Chinese cyber operations working to influence public opinion by amplifying political and social divisions in the U.S. through social media platforms. The documents say that the efforts magnified racial tensions and partisan disagreements. The intelligence reports also warn that foreign adversaries, including China, as well as Russia, Iran, and North Korea, possess capabilities to compromise voting machines. We know that they can change voter registration and your vote. President Trump has also said that intelligence officials withheld key information from not just him, but also former President Biden, related to these foreign influence operations. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden. Now, following these disclosures, the acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, says that he's cut 30 percent of the workforce of the intelligence community. He says this is the fifth and near final round of terminations, and that the mission of the intelligence community should be to protect the American people, not the political whims of the bloated and corrupt elite class.
