Trump Accuses China of Stealing Data of 220 Million American Voters Amid Previous Election Fraud Claims
Former U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election, claiming that China stole the data of 220 million American voters. Trump accused U.S. intelligence and security agencies of concealing the election’s true nature and ordered the FBI and CIA to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. However, American media outlets and former investigations have stated that there is no evidence supporting Trump’s claims, and no clear tampering with election results has been found.
In a national address on election security last Friday, Trump repeated his longstanding assertion that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. He launched aggressive accusations against U.S. intelligence agencies and released some confidential election security documents from the White House. Trump alleged that China had stolen data on 220 million American voters during the 2020 election. Additionally, he cited Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statistics alleging that approximately 278,000 non-citizens were registered to vote.
Trump warned that voting machines were vulnerable to cyberattacks and identified Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as potential threats. He instructed the National Intelligence Director, FBI, CIA, and Department of Justice to conduct the most comprehensive investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of election security data and to pursue criminal charges against those responsible. Trump also criticized major U.S. media outlets, particularly NBC and ABC, for not broadcasting his address live.
Accusing China of data theft and espionage, Trump claimed that sensitive information—including names, addresses, phone numbers, and political party affiliations—of voters from 18 U.S. states had been stolen. He described this as the largest cyberattack in U.S. election history. Nevertheless, U.S. media and previous investigations have stated that these allegations remain unverified.
