c. They have sources saying as such but have not discovered the backdoor itself. d. Admitting how they found the backdoor would reveal other issues (a source in the pipeline, or their own backdoor in something Huawei made use of). And probably e-z too.

Yeah exactly - providing proof publicly could in fact burn the sources/methods used to get that proof.

Hey, I like this game .... e. they know Huawei have backdoor(s) because their mole put them in, so the USA could use them. They've not succeeded in getting a backdoor in 5G infrastructure, so they're ready to burn the old backdoor, to discredit Huawei (and win big on the markets) and to get countries to take USA based products on which there are backdoors in! What we can be pretty sure of, as Trump's involved in pressuring countries to stop using Huawei, it's corrupt and there's a private financial win for Trump if he succeeds.

  I wouldn't say your 'e' is at tin-foil hat level. But your assertion that since Trump is president any attempt to establish that Huawei is flawed from a security perspective is some 'corrupt' plot by Trump to benefit him financially is pure political imagination. Go ahead and take issues with Trump, his policies, his words, his actions, I don't care, but please do not pretend like just because Trump is president that magically the PRC and companies which are essentially controlled by its government are some kind of benign actors. Trump and has taken a hard-line against anything China since he ran in 2015, his anti-Huawei is very much in line with that stance. Also, Trump was pretty clear he wanted an American first economic policy, which makes it obvious he would be anti-expansion of any Chinese technological products. TR;DL Trump being president has not a thing to do with whether or not Huawei and the PRC are attempting to infiltrate the network and data infrastructure of the world at large.
