President Donald Trump is expected to use a prime-time address Thursday night to discuss election integrity and potentially unveil ‘four sets’ of newly declassified intelligence concerning alleged foreign interference in recent U.S. elections, according to reports.
MSNBC; Getty ImagesTrump is scheduled to address the nation at 9 p.m. ET tonight – only revealing that it would focus on election security and related concerns.
"Our country has to shape up," Trump said during an Oval Office appearance with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaid. "Without free and fair elections, you don’t have a country."
Journalist Paul Sperry reported on X that the address could include allegations that U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies recently uncovered evidence of foreign interference involving China – not Russia – in recent elections, including the 2020 presidential contest.
Citing an unnamed administration source who had reportedly reviewed a draft of Trump’s speech, Sperry claimed the evidence includes allegations that Chinese actors penetrated state voter-registration databases and obtained information concerning tens of thousands of voters.
According to Sperry, officials believe the stolen information may have been intended for use in manufacturing fraudulent mail-in ballots supporting Joe Biden. He also claimed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel would appear with Trump or otherwise certify the evidence presented by the administration.

The documents were reportedly drawn from previously undisclosed or suppressed FBI, CIA, and ODNI records. Sperry’s source alleged that the intelligence had been buried as part of a broader effort to conceal Beijing’s cyber capabilities and influence operations.
