Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer who helped lead the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, refuted claims that it was fabricated. Miller stated the assessment was based on credible information confirming Russia's goal to get Trump elected, although no No collusion between Trump's campaign and the Kremlin was found. Tulsi Gabbard claimed the assessment was based on manufactured information and part of a conspiracy to undermine Trump, referencing a 2020 Republican House report. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) dismissed Miller's comments, referencing the 2020 Republican House intelligence report. A bipartisan Senate probe in 2020 endorsed the intelligence agencies' assessment that Russia spread disinformation and leaked emails to undermine Hillary Clinton and bolster Trump.
