Trump Claims China Stole Voter Data on 220 Million Americans, Clashing with U.S. Intelligence

In a July 16, 2026 East Room address, President Trump claimed China illicitly acquired voter data on 220 million Americans and interfered in the 2020 election. A 2021 ODNI report — representing the combined assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies — concluded with "high confidence" that China did not interfere to change the outcome. The White House released heavily redacted documents to support Trump's claims; CNN found little new information in them.
