US President Donald Trump declassified intelligence he said showed Chinese interference in US elections, reviving claims about election security despite intelligence findings that Beijing did not alter the 2020 vote he lost. Donald Trump announced the declassification of intelligence reports alleging Chinese interference in US elections. He claims Beijing obtained 220 million US voter records, calling it a major threat to democracy.
