Trump DHS altered and twice delayed Russian election interference report, watchdog finds

Chad Wolf twice delayed an intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election when he was acting Department of Homeland Security secretary, according to the DHS Office of Inspector General.

Why it matters: The OIG report found the decision and altering of the report seemed to be "based in part on political considerations," after a staffer said it was held because it "made President Trump look bad and hurt President Trump's campaign." Wolf told the OIG it was delayed due to concerns about quality, including that it "was not well written."
