Republicans Gear Up For Save America Fight After Trump Address

President Donald Trump’s primetime address quickly ignited a fierce political debate as lawmakers and administration officials began weighing in on his warnings about the nation’s election system.

Trump announced Thursday that he was immediately declassifying hundreds of pages of documents that he said reveal “shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure,” including information about alleged Chinese efforts to obtain American voter data.

The president alleged that China acquired approximately 220 million voter-registration files containing names, addresses, voting histories, party affiliations, phone numbers, and other information.

Trump also accused members of the U.S. intelligence community of suppressing information about China’s activities and called for investigations and possible prosecutions.
