Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis defended last week’s revelations about the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), calling them some of the most significant disclosures yet in the long-running investigation into the Trump-Russia narrative.
“There are 5–10 people who have been deeply involved in reporting on the Russia collusion hoax from the beginning,” Davis wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I am one of them, and so is [Federalist editor] Mollie Hemingway.”
Davis strongly rejected claims that the newly declassified ICA-related documents are “old news,” describing such characterizations as either ignorant or deliberately deceptive.
“Claiming that the ICA revelations are ‘nothing new’... suggests a far more nefarious intent,” he said, arguing that the latest documents expose the scale of the “corrupt coup” against President Donald Trump.
He also pointed to the FBI’s 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, claiming that the operation targeted the very documents now being dismissed. Davis accused mainstream media figures of pushing false narratives and never seriously investigating the Russia probe.
