US President Donald Trump renews his long-running accusations that China interfered in the 2020 US presidential election, contradicting a prior US intelligence assessment that found no evidence China altered the outcome. In a national address, Trump says he will declassify intelligence material that he claims supports his allegation that China illicitly acquired sensitive US voter files, including information used for voter registration such as names and addresses. Multiple outlets report Trump’s figure of roughly 220 million voter files. Trump also portrays the issue as connected to election security and says the declassified information would show vulnerabilities in US election infrastructure. News reports also note that Beijing denies the allegations. The renewed claims are presented as a continuation of disputes over election integrity and come despite earlier investigations and intelligence findings concluding there was no attempt by China to change vote counts in 2020, according to the accounts summarized by these outlets.
