President Trump plans to deliver a speech Thursday evening addressing newly declassified intelligence reports on foreign interference in the 2020 election. The address is scheduled for 9 p.m. The declassified reports are expected to form the core of the remarks.
A White House task force gathered thousands of pages of intelligence documents for review. President Trump granted his acting director of national intelligence authority to declassify the relevant reports. One account indicated the FBI is involved in the process surrounding the documents.
The speech had been anticipated to cover different subjects before the focus shifted to the declassified materials. "Trump's Thursday 9 PM address to the nation isn't about Iran. It's expected to cover newly declassified intelligence on foreign plans to interfere in the 2020 election," Oliver of MS NOW stated.
