<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe core of the speech centered on a set of documents Trump said his administration would begin releasing that night. \u201cI\u2019m announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed the documents show China \u201ccarried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history,\u201d alleging the country acquired 220 million U.S. voter files. He also alleged that intelligence officials suppressed this information from him and Congress, saying one internal email described efforts to \u201cdeliberately massage daily briefings to withhold Chinese briefings regarding the election.\u201d<\/p>\n
This claim arrives after federal investigators previously concluded foreign interference had no practical impact on the 2020 election\u2019s outcome, and numerous state audits found no evidence supporting the broader fraud claims Trump has made since his 2020 loss.<\/p>\n
Trump also referenced a Department of Homeland Security review he said identified \u201capproximately 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal elections,\u201d and alleged a fraudulent voter registration operation in Michigan tied to a 2020 FBI investigation.<\/p>\n
Targeting the Media<\/strong><\/p>\nTrump criticized NBC and ABC for declining to air the speech. \u201cIn a rare move, NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they would not cover this speech,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cFraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Push for the Save America Act<\/strong><\/p>\nTrump closed by calling on Congress to pass the Save America Act, which would require photo voter ID and proof of citizenship for voter registration, and would largely eliminate mail-in ballots except for cases involving illness, disability, military deployment, or travel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis landmark bill requires all voters must show a photo voter ID,\u201d he said, urging Americans to \u201cpick up your phone tomorrow, call your representatives in the House and Senate, and demand they pass the Save America Act without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethereum slipped toward $1,848, XRP fell to $1.08, and Solana dropped to $75, each down roughly 2% to 3%.
