Trump claims China accessed U.S. voting data in 2020 election

Former President Donald Trump has asserted that intelligence data reveals China's intrusion into U.S. voting systems during the 2020 election. He stated that previously classified documents demonstrate the vulnerability of the American electoral process, alleging China accessed hundreds of millions of documents containing personal information and political preferences.

According to Trump, China's objective was not to see him re-elected but to manipulate public opinion, including that of journalists. He also claimed China attempted to influence the 2018 midterm elections, which saw Democrats gain a majority in the House of Representatives. Trump made these remarks during a speech where documents detailing U.S. electoral weaknesses were released.

Trump's claims come amid his persistent assertions of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden. He has repeatedly challenged the election results and urged election officials to alter outcomes. Despite these claims, investigations have not found evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
