The Durham Report Soros Clinton connection was fully exposed when Senator Chuck Grassley delivered a bombshell revelation on July 30, 2025, when he released previously classified sections of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation that expose the intricate web connecting George Soros’s Open Society Foundations to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign strategy targeting Donald Trump with fabricated Russia collusion claims.
The declassified Durham annex reveals how Russian intelligence services hacked the Open Society Foundations (formerly the Soros Foundation) between 2014 and 2016, providing U.S. intelligence agencies with explosive communications that detailed Clinton campaign coordination with Soros network operatives to manufacture the Trump-Russia narrative that dominated American politics for years.
Russian Hackers Expose Soros Network Communications
Beginning in 2014, Russian intelligence services systematically targeted numerous U.S. entities, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, according to the newly released intelligence documents. These cyber intrusions provided American intelligence agencies with unprecedented access to internal communications between Clinton campaign operatives and Soros network officials.
The hacked communications centered around Leonard Benardo, who served as Regional Director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations. Intelligence memoranda derived from these hacks revealed purported emails showing coordination between Clinton campaign officials and Soros foundation personnel in developing anti-Trump messaging strategies.
According to the Durham findings, one alleged email from Benardo in July 2016 stated: “Julie says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump” and ominously added, “Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.” Another purported communication from July 27, 2016, revealed: “HRC approved Julia’s idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email.”
Clinton Campaign’s Strategic Disinformation Plan Revealed
The declassified intelligence exposes what Durham investigators described as Hillary Clinton’s approval of a comprehensive plan to “smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion by the Russian special services.” This strategic disinformation campaign aimed to distract American voters from the ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton’s private email server scandal.
Intelligence memoranda dated July 26, 2016, detailed how Clinton approved recommendations from her foreign policy advisors to weaponize the Russia narrative against Trump and his policy objectives. The timing proves particularly significant, as this occurred just one day before Trump’s famous press conference joke about Russia finding Clinton’s missing emails.
The Durham investigation revealed that this intelligence was “obtained via the U.S. Soros Foundation,” directly connecting the billionaire’s network to the genesis of the Russia collusion narrative that would consume American politics and undermine Trump’s presidency for years.
DNC Leadership Coordinated with Soros Officials
Beyond the Clinton campaign connections, the declassified documents expose communications between then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and two key Open Society Foundations officials: Leonard Benardo and Jeffrey Goldstein. These purported conversations, captured through the Russian hacks, revealed coordination between Democratic Party leadership and Soros network operatives.
According to the intelligence memoranda, Wasserman Schultz discussed the FBI investigation into Clinton’s emails and efforts by the Obama administration to manage political fallout. More significantly, the documents claim DNC and Clinton staff were actively preparing “scandalous revelations” about Donald Trump’s alleged business relations with what they termed the “Russian Mafia.”
This coordination between the Democratic Party’s top leadership and George Soros’s political network demonstrates the systematic nature of the anti-Trump disinformation campaign that would later evolve into the Mueller investigation and years of congressional inquiries.
Intelligence Community Validates Authenticity
Despite claims from Clinton allies that the communications represent “Russian disinformation,” the CIA conducted a thorough assessment in 2017 and concluded that the intelligence derived from the hacked communications was not fabricated by Russian intelligence services. This finding directly contradicts Hillary Clinton’s public dismissal of the evidence as foreign propaganda.
The Durham Special Counsel’s Office conducted extensive analysis to determine the authenticity of the purported communications. While investigators could not definitively prove every detail, their “best assessment” concluded that the Benardo emails represented “a composite of several emails that were obtained through Russian intelligence hacking” of various think tanks, including the Open Society Foundations and the Carnegie Endowment.
When directly confronted with the evidence, key figures provided revealing responses. Hillary Clinton dismissed the intelligence as “Russian disinformation,” while her campaign staff characterized it as “ridiculous.” Leonard Benardo claimed the emails didn’t look familiar, though he acknowledged one sentence “sounded like something he would have said.”
Pattern of Deep State Coordination Exposed
The Durham revelations expose a sophisticated coordination network between wealthy progressive donors, Democratic Party leadership, and intelligence community assets that worked systematically to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and subsequent presidency. This evidence validates long-standing conservative concerns about Deep State coordination against outsider political candidates.
The timeline proves particularly damaging for Clinton defenders. The July 2016 communications show premeditated planning to weaponize the Russia narrative months before the election, contradicting claims that the investigation resulted from legitimate national security concerns about Trump campaign activities.
Senator Grassley’s decision to declassify these materials provides American voters with concrete evidence of the systematic disinformation campaign that dominated news cycles and shaped public opinion about President Trump throughout his first term in office.
Justice and Accountability Moving Forward
The Durham Report’s findings regarding Soros network involvement in the Clinton campaign’s anti-Trump strategy represent more than historical curiosity—they expose patterns of political warfare that continue threatening American democracy. These revelations demonstrate how wealthy donors, political operatives, and government agencies can coordinate to manufacture narratives that mislead American voters.
As President Trump prepares for his second term, these findings vindicate his consistent claims about the Russia hoax while exposing the sophisticated networks that opposed his presidency. The evidence shows how George Soros’s political influence extends beyond campaign contributions into strategic coordination with Democratic Party leadership and intelligence community assets.
American patriots must understand these patterns to prevent similar disinformation campaigns in future elections. The Durham revelations provide a roadmap for identifying and countering Deep State coordination against conservative candidates at all levels of government.
