CIA’s Ratcliffe Turns Heads With Update on New ‘Russiagate’ Docs
CIA Director John Ratcliffe signaled Sunday that more explosive revelations are about to surface linking Hillary Clinton and senior Obama-era officials to the manufactured “Russia collusion” narrative designed to cripple Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency.
Ratcliffe, speaking with host Maria Bartiromo, confirmed that additional documents cited in the classified annex of Special Counsel John Durham’s report are currently under review for declassification.
“So part of what came out last week was about how John Brennan, Clapper, Comey, they all pushed the known fake steel dossier into intelligence community assessments and as the basis for Crossfire Hurricane and all that,” Ratcliffe said.

“What hasn’t come out yet and what’s going to come out is the underlying intelligence that I have spent the last few months making recommendations about final declassification and sent that to the Department of Justice that will come out in the John Durham report classified annex,” he explained.
FBI and Clinton Campaign “Poured Oil on the Fire”
Ratcliffe said the soon-to-be-released intelligence demonstrates how the FBI actively bolstered the Clinton campaign’s plan to weaponize the discredited Steele dossier—an opposition research project secretly bankrolled by Clinton’s team.
“What that intelligence shows, Maria, is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier, to those fake Russia collusion claims by pouring oil on the fire, by amplifying the lie and burying the truth of what Hillary Clinton was up to,” Ratcliffe continued.
Durham’s investigation had already determined that the Steele dossier—loaded with unverified allegations tying President Trump to Russia—was a product of the Clinton campaign. Despite their later denials under oath, Obama-era intelligence chiefs including James Comey and John Brennan used the dossier as justification for launching the now-debunked Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
False Testimony and a Renewed DOJ
Ratcliffe also hinted that former CIA Director John Brennan’s sworn testimony before Congress could now be proven false.
“He also testified to the House Oversight Committee in 2022. Hillary Clinton testified before John Durham under oath in 2022. James Comey testified before the Senate Committee in September 2020. All of that’s within the last five years,” Ratcliffe told Bartiromo.
“And much of that testimony is, frankly, completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence that is about to be declassified in the Durham annex, what that reflects,” he said.
Ratcliffe praised U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department for its willingness to revisit the scandal and hold the conspirators accountable.
“It is a different Department of Justice, a different FBI, and an opportunity to look at how these people really did conspire to run a hoax, a fraud on the American people and against Donald Trump’s presidency,” he said.
The CIA director stressed that the American people are only now beginning to see the evidence that had been deliberately buried for years.
“All of this evidence that’s been hidden and buried from the American people is finally coming to light,” Ratcliffe declared.
“The Conspiracy Is Still Ongoing”
Key figures from the Obama administration continue to deny that the Steele dossier was the spark that ignited the FBI’s surveillance of Trump’s 2016 campaign. Ratcliffe, however, left no doubt where he stands.
“There is no doubt in my mind that the people that we just talked about conspired. They conspired against President Trump. They conspired against the American people,” Ratcliffe said.

“I don’t think statute of limitations are going to impact [it] because, on the conspiracy, the statute of limitation doesn’t start to run until the last act in furtherance of that conspiracy,” he said. “The people behind this are still furthering the conspiracy. They’re refusing to admit or acknowledge what they did … was wrong.”
