Report: FBI Had 14 Informants on Biden Corruption but Ran Op to Dismiss Evidence As Disinformation

Never forget that this happened under an administration that put together an official Disinformation Governance Board, chaired by the “Mary Poppins of disinformation,” who claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop story was “a fairy tale about a laptop repair shop.” John Solomon of Just the News reports that the FBI had 14 informants on corruption in the Biden family but instead put together a secret operation to discredit his reporting as disinformation.

BREAKING: Just-declassified FBI docs reveal Dir. Wray during the 2020 election classified Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Victoria Nuland and Amos Hochstein, along w/ George Soros, as “targets” of Russian “disinformation” in the Burisma scandal, while journalist John Solomon was branded…— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) August 12, 2026

John Solomon and Steven Richards report for Just the News:

The FBI and U.S. spy agencies received derogatory evidence about Joe Biden from 14 different informants but embarked on a secret operation to tamp down a Ukrainian corruption scandal engulfing his family during the 2020 election by formally designating Attorney General Bill Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, key members of Congress and journalists as Russian disinformation “conduits,” according to explosive intelligence community documents declassified by the White House.

A spreadsheet that was recovered from U.S. intelligence agency files and made public Wednesday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force shows that spy agencies and the FBI created a list of more than six dozen prominent organizations, Americans or foreigners who became figures in the Biden family Ukraine scandal and the 2019 impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

The FBI also labeled two of President Donald Trump’s first-term Cabinet secretaries, Pompeo and Barr, as well as Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham and House GOP committee chairmen Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan as “conduits” even while they all investigated whether the allegations of corruption against the Biden family were true.

…

The designations were part of a secret counterintelligence operation codenamed “Round River” that was launched during the 2020 election by a task force of FBI analysts claiming to be fighting “malign foreign influence” in the 2020 election, according to an administration official.

John Solomon is one serious journalist. That man understands the history and has command of the facts. We live in an upside down world with a severe imbalance of consequences.— Jim M (@JimmyMac1960) August 12, 2026

Operation Crossfire Hurricane, Operation Oxferd C0mma, Operation Round River … we had high hopes that Kash Patel was going to clean house at the FBI, but that might be a bigger job than one person can handle.
