Trump asserted that classified U.S. intelligence documents, which he has ordered to be declassified, expose "shocking vulnerabilities" within the American electoral system. He claims these documents indicate that China has been engaged in a massive election data piracy operation since the 2020 presidential election.

These allegations echo Trump's long-standing claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him. Despite his repeated assertions of widespread fraud and irregularities, experts, independent institutes, and the U.S. justice system have consistently found no evidence to support claims of fraud that would have altered the election outcome.
