FBI Director Kash Patel declassified and shared a file with Grassley a day earlier, an action Grassley said arose from the senator's request for an intelligence information report from its Albany Field Office dated Sept. 25, 2020, according to a June 17 letter Grassley shared with The Epoch Times.

In the letter, directed to Patel, Grassley said that the intelligence report states it was "recalled in order to re-interview the source."

It also states, "Recipients should destroy all copies of the original report and remove the original report from all computer holdings."
