Trump: Kina har stulit data om 220 miljoner amerikanska väljare | NTD NYHETER

A bombshell allegation from the White House and a nationwide address Thursday night. President Trump accused Beijing of pulling off the largest election data theft in history. The White House provided declassified intelligence documents to back it up. The People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. The alleged breach affected 220 million voter files, a number approaching the total U.S. registered voter population in the 2024 election. That means nearly the entire country's data was taken, including names, addresses, political party preferences, and other sensitive data. Intelligence officials say Beijing set up a special agency to analyze this data. Experts say access to information on that scale could help foreign agents commit voter fraud, track key political figures, or launch highly targeted disinformation campaigns to sway swing voters. The Chinese government wanted U.S. President to lose the next election. And the reason they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was wise to them, charged them billions of dollars worth of tariffs, and built the strongest military anywhere in the world. These are exact quotes from the CIA reporting. President Trump also claimed Beijing is waging a cognitive war at home using the American mainstream media against him. The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported negatively on the U.S. president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him as many as they could, and they didn't care what they said. American voters have noticed the bias. YouGov released a poll revealing 43 percent of Americans believe the media wants Trump to fail, and only 16 percent say the media wants him to succeed. A Harvard-Harris poll published Tuesday reveals a wide gap between negative media coverage and voters' views of Trump's policies. Of the 13 key Trump policies measured, 11 have majority support. President Trump is pushing Congress to pass the Save America Act, a proposal that would mandate stricter voter ID requirements nationwide. To recap, President Trump's address laid out four major allegations. He accused China of stealing 220 million American voter files. Trump also alleged Beijing worked to undermine his campaign since 2018 and paid off American journalists for negative coverage. And he accused U.S. intelligence agencies and mainstream media outlets of helping to cover up those threats for years. China's foreign ministry strongly denied the allegations Friday, calling the claims completely groundless and a malicious smear.
