Trump Election Claims

President Donald Trump used a 9 p.m. ET White House address on Thursday to argue that newly declassified documents show vulnerabilities in U.S. election systems and risks of foreign interference, particularly from China. He said China stole voter registration data from 220 million Americans and called for election-law changes including the SAVE America Act before the 2026 midterms. The documents largely describe election-security weaknesses that have been publicly discussed for years. ABC, NBC and CNN declined to carry the speech live on their main broadcasts, offering coverage through digital feeds or fact-checked updates.
