State Dept. Once Again Denies ITN Request to Fulfill FOIA Request on Alleged ItalyGate Hacker in Timely Manner

Headlines Politics U.S. Videos World

The U.S. State Department has once again denied a request to fulfill a Freedom of Information Act Request brought by ITN about an alleged election hacker in a timely manner.

ITN filed a FOIA request for employment records for Stefano Serafini, an alleged State Department employee who played a role in manipulating votes remotely in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

“[The perpetrators] plotted from about early spring of 2020 all the way through the year and activated this plan,” Maria Strollo-Zack told A Warrior Calls’ Chris James recently. “And when they did it…this gentleman who goes by Stefano Serafini, actually called General Graziano’s satellite cell phone and we were provided those cell phone numbers.”

“Maybe I should publish them and let everybody call General Graziano,” Strollo-Zack added jokingly. “I think the world deserves to know this proof that is out there and it is shocking.”

Strollo-Zack says Italian law enforcement authorities have uncovered evidence on the operation. She and her organization Nations in Action™ are working with them to bring that evidence to light.

The evidence reportedly finds Serafini, along with members of global intelligence agencies, carried at least part of the vote-switching operation out from the second floor of the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Votes were switched from President Trump to Joe Biden and were then sent back to the U.S. using military satellites owned and operated by billion-dollar Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA.

General Claudio Graziano, Chairman of the European Union Military Committee, allegedly played an integral role in the operation.

Strollo-Zack says she has been told an individual who goes by the name Stefano Serafini, an employee of the State Department of over 20 years, retired in the days before the operation in order to safeguard his pension. ITN filed the FOIA request in a bid to confirm those allegations.

The specific information requested was straightforward: Serafini’s start date with the State Department, his end date (if he in fact retired), and an answer to the question of whether he is collecting a pension.

On February 11, the State Department responded by saying the estimated date of completion for the request was September of 2022 – 19 months after the request was made.

ITN replied by asking if Serafini’s employment end date and pension status could be relayed at a closer date, with the request for the remaining records being fulfilled later on. On Monday that request was denied.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Information Programs and Services has implemented maximum telework flexibilities to protect its employees and their communities. Therefore, there will be a delay in processing FOIA requests,” the State Department’s email read.

In an exclusive statement to ITN this morning, Strollo-Zack called for the stonewalling to stop.

“The US State Department owes every American citizen full truth and transparency about the fraudulent presidential election. This includes all information about employees in the Rome Embassy, communications with Gen. Graziano, all phone conversations and photos with identifying personnel especially the first week of November,” she wrote.

“Nations In Action™ has provided extensive validation of the US State Department involvement and recognizes this stonewalling is only further proof of the cover up. The question we want answered immediately is whether Stefano Serafini uses multiple aliases and is a CIA operative. Mr. Serafini must be made to testify before congress and the world as to his role in the election theft and who directed him. America deserves better!” she added.

Numerous requests made to federal agencies for assistance on confirming allegations made about ItalyGate have all gone unanswered. After Monday’s email, ITN again reached out to several members of the U.S. Congress asking for assistance in the matter. As of the time of this writing no responses to those requests have been received.
