He said, “The People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history.”
President Donald Trump gave a live address Thursday evening, in which he reported the declassification of 2020 presidential election documents. He stated that the intelligence showed that China interfered in the U.S. election to prevent his reelection, calling the information “stunning.“
President Trump said, “Newly declassified documents show that over a period of years starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history — resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.”
“That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote, and engage in other nefarious activities,” the president continued. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.”
“U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020, when they discovered that tens of millions of voters’ data in 18 states had been bought, stolen, or hacked by China,” President Trump said. “Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information hidden. They did not disclose it to me as president, and to the best of our knowledge, they did not inform Congress.”
Despite the evidence of irregularities, the president said he was repeatedly told, “This is the most secure election in the history of our country.”
President Trump elaborated, “Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China’s activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden. Documents show that during this period, dozens of significant CIA and NSA reports about China’s election targeting were kept out of the Presidential Daily Briefing.”
“Other officials who witnessed such efforts perceived the motivations to be blatantly political,” the president said. “Recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags, information given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned. These bags were supposed to be incinerated, but it never happened. We believe this was not done purposely, but rather through incompetence.”
President Trump directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, the FBI, and the CIA to investigate how and why the information was concealed and to prosecute those who engaged in hiding the intelligence.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he seeks to protect election integrity and ensure American citizens determine the outcomes of federal elections.
- For the leaders of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and the U.S. intelligence community as they conduct investigations into election interference and its concealment by government officials.
- For the Lord’s will and purposes to be accomplished in and through the president and his administration.
