Election Integrity · Full chronicle and history

U.S. President Trump disclosed that U.S. intelligence agencies have long been aware that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has obtained approximately 220 million U.S. voter records. Declassified documents indicate that Chinese intelligence agencies established a dedicated unit to analyze and exploit this data, designating the election database—which aggregates vast amounts of voter information—as a key intelligence target. This data is being monitored as part of China's long-term, systematic efforts to collect information on foreign citizens, with the incident involving concerns not only regarding election security but also the potential for personal data to be used for intelligence analysis and other strategic purposes.

Trump delivered a national address from the White House, focusing on U.S. election integrity, the vulnerabilities of voting systems, and foreign interference.

Trump claimed that serious vulnerabilities exist in U.S. vote-counting machines, voting machines, central ballot collection systems, polling places, and related websites, which could be infiltrated by foreign powers.

Trump announced that starting that evening, documents concerning cyberattacks on voting systems, foreign interference, and the security of election data would be made public.

Trump has asked the Justice Department, the CIA and other intelligence agencies to investigate and dismiss personnel accused of covering up information about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

U.S. President Donald Trump focused on election integrity in a national address, stating that China obtained more than 200 million U.S. voter registration files, and accusing the U.S. intelligence community of suppressing intelligence about China's multi-domain influence operations in 2020.

Trump said that a mayoral election held in May was not fully counted until July 11, using this to criticize the efficiency of vote counting in U.S. elections.

Trump claimed that in 2020 Michigan police arrested a fraud ring that falsified voter registrations and received gift cards; in fact, a Muskegon city clerk rejected suspicious applications, and no charges were filed after an FBI investigation.
