Newly Declassified Report Claims Russia Possessed Information on Hillary Clinton’s
Declassified Report Revives 2016 Election Controversies
A recently declassified U.S. intelligence report has reignited debates over the 2016 presidential race, alleging that Russia obtained sensitive Democratic Party communications suggesting Hillary Clinton was taking “heavy tranquilizers” during her campaign. The document also claims that then-President Barack Obama and senior party leaders considered her health “extraordinarily alarming” — raising new questions about transparency, intelligence operations, and political strategy.
The findings stem from a classified investigation conducted in 2020 by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) under then-Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA). Although finalized that September, the report was sealed in a restricted vault at CIA headquarters.
This year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified portions of the report. Fox News Digital obtained copies, though several passages remain redacted for security reasons.
According to the document, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) gained access to internal Democratic National Committee (DNC) communications during the campaign. These records allegedly revealed that Democratic leaders worried Clinton’s medical condition could damage her election prospects.
