Declassified docs label top GOP figures as Russian disinformation 'conduits' in Biden probe push

Newly declassified White House task-force documents describe an FBI counterintelligence operation codenamed Round River, which labeled several leading Republicans (e.g., Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, Lindsey Graham) as conduits for Russian disinformation in their push to investigate the Bidens and Ukraine ties. The files also mark other figures like George Soros and Hillary Clinton as disinformation targets. The ODNI says the FITF did not verify the claims, and the operation is under FBI review after being ended by a former DNI official; White House sources say the effort aimed to neutralize narratives and influence ongoing investigations by focusing on a subset of sources.
