US President Donald Trump will give a nationally and internationally address on Thursday about newly declassified intelligence on investigations into US elections and what the White House says are voting machine vulnerabilities.
The Republican president could use his televised speech to again press his false claim that he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden due to massive fraud.
Propelled by Trump’s repeated claims that US elections are “rigged,” the administration has for over a year sought to increase federal oversight of election administration and reshape the way Americans vote – an effort that legal experts say would take power away from states in violation of the US Constitution.

Trump trying to impact this year’s elections: experts
By casting the 2020 election as illegitimate, Trump is laying the groundwork to challenge Republican losses and undermine Democrats if they win back power in Congress in November, multiple election experts have said.
An official told the Reuters news agency that Trump will discuss in his speech national elections and what the White House views as voting machine flaws that could permit foreign cyber intrusion.
The administration official said Trump would discuss newly declassified intelligence related to the 2020 election.
Election officials say they are confident that machines are adequately secure and no evidence has been found of foreign intrusions that changed results of past elections.
Former US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard commissioned a report into the issue. (Picture: Jose Luis Magana/AP)A forensic analysis submitted last year by Mojave Research, a contractor hired by former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, found flaws in voting machines seized in Puerto Rico but no evidence of hacking.
Gabbard, whose resignation was effective last month, also produced her own report that outlined significant vulnerabilities in voting machines and further safeguards, such as updating their software, that could be implemented, three sources familiar with the matter said.
The White House, however, has delayed releasing the report, and Trump has persisted in trying to prove that his 2020 defeat was due to fraud.
He appointed Bill Pulte last month as Gabbard’s interim replacement and said he had authorised Pulte to declassify documents related to the 2020 vote.
New task force to investigate the issue
The White House also recently formed a task force to investigate elements of the 2020 election, three sources familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity.
One source said journalist John Solomon, a former Fox News contributor, is working on the effort.

The unclassified version of the assessment judged that Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised parts of his government to conduct influence operations aimed at boosting the vote for Trump and undermining public confidence in the electoral process.
China considered conducting influence operations designed to change the election outcome but decided against doing so, while Iran pursued a “multi-pronged” covert influence campaign to undercut Trump’s candidacy, the assessment said.
