US President Donald Trump used a primetime White House address to renew his claims that China interfered in the 2020 presidential election while raising fresh concerns about the security of America's voting systems ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. During the speech, Trump announced that he had declassified intelligence files which he believes support his allegations, despite previous US intelligence assessments concluding that China did not interfere in the election. He claimed China was responsible for the "illicit acquisition" of millions of voter records and alleged that voter data in multiple states had been "bought, stolen or hacked by China." Trump also argued that US voting machines are "extremely exposed" to interference by foreign adversaries, including China, Russia and Iran. Referring to an alleged voter registration fraud investigation, he declared, "It was pay, play and cheat." Concluding his address, Trump urged lawmakers to approve the SAVE America Act, which proposes stricter voter identification and citizenship requirements. The speech immediately drew criticism from Democrats, while China rejected the allegations as baseless. The released intelligence documents are now expected to face close public and expert scrutiny.

00:00The documents cover five major areas of concern.
00:03First, they show that over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle,
00:11the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history,
00:19resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.
00:27That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences,
00:32and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities,
00:41which is exactly what was happening.
00:43This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
00:48The intelligence even shows that China has signed a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.
00:57Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the deep state,
01:05very, very famous group of people, in many cases, in our intelligence agency work to actively suppress
01:13and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister election meddling,
01:19covering it up from both the president and the American people like nobody thought was possible.
01:25U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered
01:33that tens of millions of voter data, think of that, tens of millions of voters' data in 18 states
01:42have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China, yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead
01:51kept the information secret and hidden.
