Trump repeats claims, cites election ‘vulnerabilities’ in speech
Why Troubling News:
In a July 16 primetime address, President Trump claimed that U.S. intelligence agencies had kept secret evidence that China stole 220 million American voter files and used it to interfere in elections, and that the 2020 election contained widespread fraud. However, Trump's own Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency concluded in 2020 that the election was the most secure in American history. Election experts noted the released documents contained no new evidence of a single fraudulent vote, and the Senate Intelligence Committee stated intelligence agencies had already concluded China did not alter any votes. FactCheck.org confirmed no new evidence of widespread fraud was presented in the speech.
