President Donald Trump addressed the nation on Thursday, asserting that China obtained records belonging to 220 million U.S. voters.
Trump stated that beginning in the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China executed what he described as the largest compromise of election data in history.
The acquired information reportedly includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and political party preferences, along with other sensitive registration details.
He characterized the breach as an unprecedented election security threat with potential for further misuse.
According to the remarks, intelligence indicated China established a dedicated data exploitation unit for the operation.
Trump further claimed that individuals within the intelligence community actively suppressed details about the incident.
He alleged that these actors concealed the extent of foreign election interference from both the president and the public.
