Trump says China "bought, stolen, or hacked" millions of voter records in 2020 election

President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address Thursday asserting that he had declassified intelligence documents he said reveal Chinese interference in the 2020 election, including the allegation that China had “bought, stolen, or hacked” tens of millions of voter records across 18 states. He also called on Congress to pass his SAVE America Act and urged the Justice Department to prosecute those involved. However, the president offered no concrete proof that votes were altered, and U.S. intelligence assessments have previously found Chinese meddling limited to social media and public statements, not election processes. The released documents largely describe efforts to obtain publicly available voter data rather than alter outcomes. The speech reignites Trump’s long-running, debunked claims of a stolen election, with the White House documents failing to support his broader allegations.
