Newly released Trump administration documents claim China secretly meddled in US media and the 2020 election — explosive if true, and bad for public trust in the FBI and CIA.

• The documents claim China used assets in US media and social media to stir up the 2020 BLM riots and paid US journalists to write negative stories about Trump.
• They also allege China pulled private data from TikTok to make fake IDs for tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for Biden.
• Investigative reporter Katherine Herridge points to CIA emails suggesting the agency worked against Trump to help China and Democrats in 2020.
• The bigger worry raised: you can't easily clean out the FBI or CIA because insiders who think a certain way can quietly sabotage from within.

Outlook: Expect fierce partisan fighting over whether these claims hold up, with pressure to investigate the agencies themselves.
