Trump Claims China Stole 220 Million Voter Files in Primetime Speech

President Trump used a July 16, 2026 primetime address to accuse China of stealing 220 million US voter files during the 2020 election, calling it history's largest election data breach. A 2021 US intelligence report found China considered but did not launch influence operations that cycle. The Associated Press fact-checked the claims as "long-debunked." The speech came four months before midterms.
