Trump's accusations: US President Donald Trump accused China on Thursday of carrying out the largest hacking of election data in history, announcing he would declassify intelligence information. In an address to the nation at the White House broadcast on television, Trump said: 'Over the years, starting from the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China has carried out what is believed to be the largest hacking of election data in history, resulting in its illegal acquisition of files of 220 million American voters.' More than 60 lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies have not resulted in any ruling proving fraud capable of changing the outcome of the 2020 election, nor have recounts and reviews by the Justice Department yielded any results supporting his claims.
