US strikes Iran again as Tehran warns of ‘existential war’; One Nation senator criticised for antisemitic post
The White House is considering releasing sensitive intelligence about China and its ability to interfere in the U.S. election, which some Trump officials worry could be misleading, according to four people with knowledge of the talks.
Trump may reveal the intelligence collected and analyzed during his first term in his speech on Thursday night, and is expected to provide information about alleged weaknesses in the voting infrastructure that could allow foreign interference in US elections, sources said.
Reuters was unable to identify details of the intelligence, but sources said it was classified and related to whether China had the intent or ability to disrupt the 2020 US election. The sources, granted anonymity to discuss classified material, said the intelligence did not show Beijing manipulated or changed votes.
Trump continued to repeat the debunked claim that the 2020 election was rigged, suggesting that a foreign actor was involved in changing votes despite legal rulings that Democrat Joe Biden won.
His speech on Thursday could reveal new information about the Trump administration’s yearlong effort to collect and review material about what the White House says are vulnerabilities in the nation’s voting infrastructure.
