President Donald Trump declassified a handful of documents and accused China of penetrating U.S. voter rolls during a primetime address, the president said, arguing that U.S. elections remain insecure.
Trump said the intelligence community failed to sound the alarm as foreign actors accessed voter information, an assertion he raised as part of broader claims about the 2020 election.
He declassified the documents to support his remarks, according to the president’s comments during the address.
Democrats swiftly disputed the allegations, challenging the accuracy of the claims, and critics pushed back against the president’s conclusions.
