US President Donald Trump on Thursday raised doubts about past election results and announced the release of previously classified documents related to the 2020 and 2018 elections.While addressing the nation, Trump claimed that intelligence agencies covered up China’s attempt to disrupt the US election.Here are the main quotes from his address.
- Newly
declassified documents show that over a period of years beginning during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million American voter records. - That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be necessary to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities.
- This data loss presents an unprecedented risk.
electoral security nightmare. Intelligence services even show that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project. - U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020, when they discovered that China had purchased, stolen or hacked tens of millions of voter data in 18 states. However, those responsible for sounding the alarm kept the information hidden. They did not disclose it to me as president and, as far as we know, they did not inform Congress. In fact, all they were saying was: “These are the most secure elections in the history of our country.

- As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reports explicitly stated: “In mid-2018, the policy of the Chinese Communist Party was to exploit all domestic and foreign elements opposed to the US president in an effort to reduce the US president’s votes and force him to resign or prevent his re-election. Also in mid-2018, China was working to influence the results of the US midterm elections and, later, in the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
- Today I call on the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the CIA to investigate how and why such crucial information was withheld, to fire those involved in the cover-up, and to file criminal charges, if appropriate, against them.
- Recently, we found a significant number of burned bags, according to information provided by President Barack Hussein Obama, that were burned. These bags were supposed to be incinerated, but it never happened. We believe this was not done on purpose, but rather out of incompetence. But the findings are surprising.
- To reveal how vulnerable our elections remain, we are releasing the results of a surprising investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, which conducted a review of state voter rolls and public records and identified approximately 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal elections.
- Since Democratic states refuse to share their voter records, the true number is actually much higher; However, even this limited analysis found that more than 250,000 foreigners were illegally registered to vote.
- Great damage has been done to our country: our elections were left vulnerable to being manipulated and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue.
- Every American, whether Republican, Democrat, independent or not, should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest and fair electoral system in the world. Secure elections should not be a partisan issue.
- In an unusual move, NBC and ABC Fake News have said they wouldn’t cover this speech… because they don’t like the topic, because they know how corrupt our system is and they don’t want to reveal it. They and other media outlets are part of the plot. They want to continue this fraud for any reason. They want it to continue like this. They want to protect the radical left. You cannot have a great country without free and fair elections. Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses: they use our multimillion-dollar public airwaves for absolutely no money. All we want is honesty in our choices and honesty in reporting.
- Addressing this election security crisis requires that Congress MUST pass the SAVE America Act. The only reason you wouldn’t want to do it is because you want to cheat.
- This historic bill requires all voters to show proof of voter ID, all voters must show proof of citizenship, and hopefully NO corrupted mail-in ballots except in cases of illness, disability, military deployment, or travel.
- These reforms are urgently needed to end the vulnerabilities I have described.
- To all Americans, I ask you to pick up the phone tomorrow, call your representatives in the House and Senate and demand that they PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT without delay.
