CIA Manipulated Intelligence on Russia's 2016 Election Preference, Reports Reveal

New documents indicate Russia favored Hillary Clinton, contradicting previous claims and highlighting a deep intelligence scandal.

New reports reveal the CIA's manipulation of intelligence regarding Russia's preference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, falsely claiming Russia favored Trump.
The CIA, under John Brennan, selectively used intelligence to support a bias against Trump, sidelining agencies with differing views.
The intelligence community's actions have drawn comparisons to past intelligence failures, such as the lead-up to the Iraq War, raising concerns about corruption and misuse of power.
Critics argue the scandal is worse than Watergate, involving institutional approval for spying and intelligence manipulation, with key figures facing no accountability.
Calls for transparency and the release of classified documents grow as the scandal's implications for future elections and government trust are debated.
