Trump Releases Documents Alleging China Meddled in 2020 Election, Democrats Push Back
Salon—President Trump's administration released documents purporting to show that China interfered in the 2020 US election, an allegation Trump amplified publicly during his election security speech. Intelligence officials and independent experts have not confirmed the documents' conclusions, and previous investigations found no evidence of foreign-controlled outcomes in 2020. Democrats characterized the document release as an escalation of Trump's campaign to retroactively delegitimize the Biden presidency. The release accompanies new administration proposals to restrict election infrastructure.
