  • Donald Trump claimed China acquired 220 million voter files from the U.S. in the 2020 election.
  • He described this alleged incident as the "largest compromise" of the election.
  • The article notes that numerous lawsuits and investigations by Trump's allies found no evidence of fraud that could alter the election's outcome.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has alleged that China obtained the personal data of 220 million voters during the 2020 election, labeling the incident as the "largest compromise" of the electoral process. This assertion adds a new dimension to Trump's persistent challenges to the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.

The claim, if substantiated, would point to a significant foreign interference in American democratic processes. However, the article highlights that Trump and his allies pursued over 60 lawsuits following the election, none of which established fraud sufficient to change the outcome. Recounts, audits, and even Trump's own Justice Department investigations failed to uncover evidence supporting widespread irregularities.

Despite the lack of judicial or investigative validation for his claims of a stolen election, Trump continues to question the integrity of the 2020 vote. The focus on China's alleged involvement in acquiring voter data represents a specific accusation of foreign malfeasance aimed at undermining the election's credibility.
