00:00President Trump addressed the nation Thursday night and released a series of heavily redacted
00:04documents that he says show a massive amount of vulnerabilities in America's voting systems.
00:09He blamed China for his loss in the 2020 election, saying Beijing didn't want him to win because
00:15they knew he was, quote, onto them. He also claimed the CIA knew that China was influencing
00:20U.S. business leaders to turn against him and, quote, sought to identify U.S. journalists who
00:26had reported negatively on the U.S. president and pay them large sums of money to write more
00:31negative articles about him. The president says another series of documents show the Department
00:35of Homeland Security's discovery that 278,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in
00:41federal elections. Trump used the declassified data to make his latest push for Congress to pass the
00:46Save America Act, controversial legislation that, among other things, requires proof of citizenship
00:51before an American can vote. Before he wrapped up, the president took a swipe at ABC and NBC for not
00:57carrying his speech. They and others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud
01:03for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left. Fraud like
01:09this should mean a revocation of their licenses. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump
01:16administration is preparing to label more far-left groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Rubio
01:22made the announcement during a meeting on political violence where he argued that far-left extremism
01:26has been an overlooked driver of political terrorism for decades. He pointed to the assassination of
01:32Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson,
01:37and the multiple attempts on President Trump's life as recent examples of the threat.
01:41Far-left political terrorism is not a recent-day modern novelty. It is not a fiction manufactured
01:48by conservative politicians. For most of the modern era, it was, in fact, the dominant form
01:53of political violence. Rubio noted that the State Department designated four violent far-left
01:59extremist groups, including Germany's Antifa Ost and Greece's Armed Proletarian Justice as foreign
02:05terrorist organizations last November. Additional designations are coming soon, though the secretary
02:10didn't identify which specific groups are being considered. Now, Rubio says the administration
02:14is determined to treat political violence as a national security threat, regardless of where
02:19it comes from. Now to a Post exclusive. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego, who is widely viewed as a
02:25potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, is facing new questions about his personal conduct.
02:30Sources told the Post that Gallego, who you may remember as a close friend of disgraced
02:34Congressman Eric Swalwell, allegedly had sexual relationships with at least two House staffers during his
02:40time in Congress. Now, they added that the purported relationships were consensual and involved
02:44staffers who worked for Texas Democrats. According to insiders close to the Arizona
02:48lawmaker, it's also believed the relationships occurred while Gallego was unmarried. Now, the
02:53allegations come as the senator is already under the microscope. Last month, the Senate Ethics Committee
02:57dismissed a complaint filed by Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna that alleged campaign finance
03:02violations as well as sexual misconduct. But sources told the Post the committee didn't ask about
03:07these newly surfaced relationships, keeping the investigation instead focused within the scope
03:11of the specific accusations presented to it at the time. Gallego's office didn't respond to the
03:16Post's request for comment on the fresh allegations. The report also notes that the senator continues to
03:21face a Justice Department investigation into his alleged use of campaign funds for personal travel,
03:26including trips to the Super Bowl, St. Barts, Disney World and Disneyland. Despite the controversies,
03:31though, we're told Gallego still has his eyes on a possible White House run in 2028.
