Trump accuses China of 2020 voting interference, contradicting US intelligence findings
The president said he was declassifying sensitive information that showed China had illicitly acquired 220 million US voter files, including names, addresses, and other data used to register to vote.
US President Donald Trump declassified intelligence he claimed showed Chinese interference in US elections, despite a 2021 US intelligence assessment finding no evidence Beijing affected the 2020 vote. During a prime-time address, Trump asserted that China illicitly acquired 220 million US voter files and accused the intelligence community of suppressing this information. He used the platform to advocate for new voter identification and citizenship requirements, though his claims contradict an unclassified 2021 intelligence community assessment that found no foreign actor attempted to alter the 2020 election. Chinese embassy spokesperson Liu Chang stated, "China has never and will never interfere in the presidential elections of the US."
