Donald Trump<\/a> accused China<\/a> of infiltrating 220 million American voter files in what he called the biggest election meddling scheme in history in a controversial primetime address to the nation from the White House.<\/p>\n

The President also accused Venezuela of being behind a campaign to influence US elections<\/a>and claimed the ‘deep state’ was part of a widespread cover-up in a speech that revived his allegations of fraud in his 2020 loss to Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

The rehashing of the past election upset some Republicans ahead of the speech. As Republicans approach the midterms<\/a>, some groaned that the President’s focus on the past will not help them secure support for the future.<\/p>\n

‘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,’ the President alleged.<\/p>\n

‘That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data,’ he added. Trump alleged that a ‘data exploitation unit’ in China was assigned to hijack the data.<\/p>\n

‘This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.’<\/p>\n

No evidence of voting machine insecurity or fraud in the 2020 election<\/a>has been established. Trump’s claims have come under heightened scrutiny; some major broadcast networks like ABC and NBC refused to carry his remarks live.<\/p>\n

‘In a rare move, NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they would not cover this speech,’ Trump stated. ‘They know how corrupt our system is and … They and others in the media are part of a plot.’<\/p>\n

AMarch 2021 US intelligence report <\/a>assessed that China considered, but did not deploy, interferenceoperations on the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

‘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 voters’ data in 18 states have been bought, stolen or hacked by China,’ Trump alleged.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed that China wanted him to lose the 2020 election. ‘I was wise to them, charged them billions and billions of dollars worth of tariffs,’ Trump said of his first term.<\/p>\n

He also announced the release of hundreds of previously classified files about US elections. Many of the files are heavily redacted.<\/p>\n

Referencing newly declassified files, Trump said that some documents reveal ‘that members of the deep state’ worked to ‘actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election rally.’<\/p>\n

Despite all of his accusations lobbed against China, the President did not threaten any consequences. President Xi Jinping and his wife are still scheduled to travel to Washington, DC, for a state visit in September following Trump’s trip to China in May.<\/p>\n

Referring to another newly unclassified CIA report, Trump alleged that the Nicolas Maduro regime developed methods to ‘digitally alter vote totals in ways that could not be detected, even with an audit, no matter how deep they went.’<\/p>\n

The 2021 report also claims that though ex-Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro may have wanted to sway US public opinion against Trump during the 2020 election, he lacked the ability to do so.<\/p>\n
