## Resource

House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford is sounding the alarm on what he calls a massive intelligence cover-up surrounding the 2020 election, accusing unelected bureaucrats of manipulating and hiding critical information from the President, Congress, and the American people. Since taking the helm, Crawford has made exposing these abuses a top priority, citing a July 2025 report that alleges fabricated intelligence was part of a conspiracy against a former president, as well as a three-year investigation into health incidents that forced the recall of key assessments due to manipulation. While acknowledging most intel professionals are patriots, he condemns those who acted in ways that eroded public trust — especially those who believe they know better than elected leaders. Crawford insists the nation can’t move forward on a weak foundation and insists accountability is essential to prevent future abuses. He’s aligned with President Trump’s push for transparency and is committed to working with the administration to hold wrongdoers responsible — and he says it’s not too late to fix this.
