U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday declassified intelligence that he said showed Chinese interference in the 2020 elections. In a 25-minute speech from the East Room of the White House, Trump alleged "shocking vulnerabilities" in U.S. election security.
The declassified material has not yet been made public, and no timeline was provided for its release. Trump called for passage of the "#SaveAmerica" bill, which would impose new voter identification and citizenship requirements. The legislation has not been scheduled for a vote.
The speech comes ahead of November's midterm elections, in which Republicans are defending congressional majorities.
