Trump Says "Deep State" Covered Up Chinese Interference in 2020 Election
RealClear Politics ^ | 16 Jul, 2026 | Tim Hains

DONALD TRUMP: America is back, and doing very well.

We still have a major challenge that must be urgently addressed because no country can be great without fair and honest elections. You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness. That's very simple. No trust, no greatness.

For many years, I have called for bold, swift and decisive action to protect the integrity of America’s elections.

Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately in a system—and that is to make that system secure—one where cheating and interference are not just difficult, but virtually impossible.

Unfortunately, the system we have today falls catastrophically short of that standard.

Tonight, I am announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.

This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes—and really exposes, like levels never thought possible—the hacking, exploitation and foreign interference.

Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you, the American people—our great and beautiful American people.

But that all changes right now.

The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force—a great group of people—along with the staff of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity.

You can see these documents for yourself at WhiteHouse.gov. Go check it out.

Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in elections, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly. And that’s what we are doing.

He was supposed to have drained the swamp. Why was there still a deep state.

Because the deep state is so entrenched it fights every one of his efforts. It took a long time to get thus bad. It’s going to take a while to repair the damage. Everyone is going to have to get off their couches and phones to fight it, not just the president.

It took a long time for it to get this deep. Deeper than any of the good guys imagined.

Many he hired to clean it up have been deep staters themselves. Most show their true colors in time and he fires them.

A lot of good reasons why government people should stay very far away from computers. I don’t know for sure but some has said that the Delco PA county offices are being held for ransom.

A good place to start is by naming individuals—instead of making vague claims.

The Deep State consists of real human beings.

The President needs to name them—publish a list.

Everyone has a right to know who they are.

"Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running, quote, ‘a shadow government.’"

I hope this woman is being investigated and will face indictment.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

The cancer of the Deep State has manifested in All parts of our
Great Country. Hiding it’s existence and it’s Destruction. It Must Be Exposed and Identified Openly for What it Is.

What happened in the year prior to the 2016 presidential election should also get a good look.

He did name one in his speech. He mentioned her name a couple of times. She’s the one that hid the information from Trump.

The “Deep State” (and to be sure there really is one) is a generations old entrenched bureaucracy. The best Trump can do in 8 years is make a significant dent which at the least is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, the Deep State (and that includes the MIC) is still alive and still has teeth. Hopefully 8 years of a successor conservative administration and Congress will at least tame the beast.

The sad fact is that the Deep State can be created with the stroke of a pen but it can not be dismantled that way. I consider this just another reason to despise liberals.

Trump accused China of “the largest compromise of election data in history,” alleging Beijing illicitly obtained info from some 220 million American voter files during the 2020 election cycle.

The CCP quickly denied the charges: “China has all along adhered to the principle of non-interference in others’ internal affairs. The US election is an internal US matter. Its outcome is determined by the votes of the American people. China has never and will never interfere in the presidential elections of the US.”

I hope so too. Nikki Flores was forced out of the FBI by Cash Patel, but quickly landed a cushy job at Microsoft.
