President Trump is delivering a primetime speech on foreign election interference on Thursday at 9 pm ET.
President Trump will be joined by CIA Director Ratcliffe, Acting DNI Bill Pulte, DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin and FBI Director Kash Patel.
The president is expected to discuss the following:
China’s role meddling in US elections.
The president will reportedly unveil evidence showing Beijing compromised US voter data and the CIA knew about it but didn’t share the information with him during his first term.
A White House task force will be releasing classified intelligence documents related to the 2020 election.
Trump will speak about the newly declassified intelligence.
“Those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden,” Trump said.
“They did not disclose to me as president or to anyone else and to the best of our knowledge, they did not inform Congress,” he said.
“US spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data, think of that tens of millions of voters data in 18 states have been bought, stolen or hacked by China,” Trump said.
“China has signed a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project. Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the deep state, very, very famous group of people, many cases, in our intelligence agency work to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election meddling, covering it up from both the president and the American people like nobody thought was possible,” Trump said.
