The president presented declassified documents that corroborate Chinese interference in the 2020 elections in the US and a deep state plan to conceal this information
Accompanied by the top intelligence officials of his government, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, delivered a national address in which he presented evidence that the Chinese communist regime compromised U.S. electoral roll data and that the CIA concealed this information from him during his first term.
The president declassified documents related to the 2020 elections that demonstrate that Beijing illegally obtained information corresponding to about 220 million records of U.S. voters. Additionally, he revealed that foreign powers —including Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China— have the technical capability to compromise U.S. electoral infrastructure.
"Those responsible for sounding the alarm, on the other hand, kept this information secret and hidden," Trump stated, referring to the actions of the CIA. "They did not reveal it to me as president or to anyone else, and as far as we know, they did not inform Congress either," he added.
"U.S. intelligence agencies began to learn about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data —think about that, tens of millions of voter records in 18 states— had been bought, stolen, or hacked by China," the Republican leader pointed out.

Trump detailed that Xi Jinping's regime "created a data exploitation unit specifically for this project" and that the intelligence agencies —the so-called American "Deep State"— "actively worked to suppress and minimize information about the extent of this sinister electoral interference from China", even going so far as to conceal it from both the American people and the president himself.
The batch of declassified files —which has already been published online and can be viewed on the White House website— also exposes the role of an organization affiliated with the Democratic Party dedicated to voter registration, whose collaborators allegedly signed voter registration forms using third-party names.
Trump indicated that a Justice Department investigation detected approximately 278,000 non-U.S. citizens registered on the electoral rolls, with most of them appearing in the records of states governed by Democrats who refuse to provide that information to the federal government.
Nonetheless, the president took advantage of the national address to urge Republican senators to approve the SAVE America Act, a bill that has already been approved by the House of Representatives and requires verification of U.S. citizenship at the time of voting, in addition to tightening voter identification requirements ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
