Trump Says China Stole Data on 220 Million Voters, Despite U.S. Spy Agencies Saying Otherwise

On July 16, 2026, President Trump told the nation that China secretly stole voter data on 220 million Americans and interfered in the 2020 election. But a 2021 report by U.S. intelligence agencies — the government's team of spies and analysts — concluded with "high confidence" that China did not interfere to change the result. The White House released partly blacked-out documents to back Trump's claims; CNN found little new information in them.
