Trump Address to the Nation — Declassifies Intelligence on Election Vulnerabilities, Demands Save America Act

Trump delivers a prime-time address to the nation from the White House, announcing the declassification and release of intelligence documents alleging: (1) China acquired 220 million US voter files starting in the 2020 election cycle; (2) intelligence agencies suppressed and covered up information about Chinese election meddling; (3) electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems are vulnerable to foreign hacking; (4) a Michigan voter registration operation investigated by FBI in 2020 was slow-walked and killed by the Biden DOJ; and (5) DHS identified 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote. He calls on Congress to pass the Save America Act requiring photo voter ID, proof of citizenship, and elimination of mail-in ballots except for military/disabled. Major news networks NBC and ABC pre-announced they would not carry the speech live. Independently, fact-checkers and the intelligence community noted the released CIA documents actually concern Venezuela manipulation of its own 2020 National Assembly elections, and a March 2021 Intelligence Community assessment concluded Maduro had the intent but likely not the capability to influence US public opinion, with no information suggesting Venezuela attempted to compromise US election infrastructure.
