U.S. President Donald Trump announced the immediate declassification of intelligence documents that he said reveal "shocking vulnerabilities" in the U.S. election infrastructure, noting that the current electoral system is at risk of hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference.

Trump explained that the documents, which begin publication today, were compiled by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, in collaboration with the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, and with the support of the heads of U.S. intelligence agencies who, he said, confirmed the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Details of the Alleged Hacking Operation

Trump indicated that the declassified documents show that China carried out, since the 2020 election, what he described as "the largest hacking of election data in history," claiming that it illegally obtained data on about 220 million American voters.

He added that the leaked data includes voters' names, addresses, phone numbers, and party affiliations, along with other sensitive information that could be exploited for voter registration or in activities he described as "malicious," asserting that China has dedicated a specialized unit to exploit this data.

Goals and Motives for Publication

For his part, Trump considered what the documents reveal to be an "unprecedented nightmare for election security," explaining that this information has been hidden from the American people for years. He stressed that the goal of publication is to enhance election integrity and ensure an electoral system that makes cheating and interference "almost impossible."
