FBI and Senate probe alleged Chinese scheme to influence 2020 election with fake driver’s licenses for Biden votes.
The FBI and Senate Judiciary Committee are digging into explosive allegations that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) orchestrated a scheme to sway the 2020 U.S. presidential election toward Joe Biden. The claim? Fake driver’s licenses, allegedly manufactured in China, were shipped to the U.S. to enable fraudulent mail-in votes by CCP sympathizers. This bombshell surfaced after FBI Director Kash Patel declassified a document at the request of Senator Chuck Grassley, who’s now demanding answers.
The document, marked as unverified intelligence, alleges the CCP used data harvested from TikTok to craft these counterfeit IDs, complete with real U.S. citizens’ names and addresses. The goal? Tens of thousands of illicit votes for Biden. But here’s the catch: the FBI flagged holes in the story, noting TikTok doesn’t collect address data, and the report was recalled in September 2020 for a source re-interview. Grassley wants to know why the FBI, under then-Director Christopher Wray, ordered the report destroyed and what follow-up, if any, occurred.
Adding fuel to the fire, U.S. Customs seized nearly 20,000 fake driver’s licenses from China and Hong Kong at Chicago’s O’Hare airport in 2020. Coincidence? That’s unclear, but Grassley’s pushing the FBI to connect the dots. Patel, meanwhile, vows transparency, framing this as part of his mission to restore trust in the bureau.
This saga raises thorny questions about election integrity and foreign interference. While the allegations remain unproven, the Senate’s probe signals a deep dive into a murky corner of the 2020 election—one that could ripple through political discourse for years.

So, the CCP allegedly used TikTok data to fake IDs for Biden votes? Sounds like a spy novel, but the FBI’s 'destroy the evidence' memo is the real plot twist. Why hide the script? And those 20,000 fake licenses at O’Hare—did they come with a ‘Vote Here’ sticker? Grassley’s on it like a hawk, but I bet the real story’s still doing the Great Firewall tango in Beijing.
