Trump declassified documents alleging Chinese election interference, contradicting U.S. intelligence finding

President Trump declassified and publicly discussed documents he said showed Chinese interference in U.S. elections, including the 2020 presidential campaign, in a July 16, 2026 prime-time address. A U.S. intelligence assessment found no evidence of Chinese interference in the 2020 election, Reuters reported, creating a direct contradiction with the president's assertions.
