Declassified Intelligence Reveals Massive China Election Interference Cover-up * The Gateway Pundit * by Jim Hoft

President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address from the White House on July 16, 2026, on the subject of US election security.

During the speech, Trump announced the declassification of intelligence documents and made a series of allegations involving China, the 2020 election, and a subsequent effort by intelligence officials to withhold information from him and from Congress.

As reported earlier by Patriot Perspective, one CIA report outlined China’s broader objective as leveraging domestic and foreign groups opposed to Trump to reduce his support, pressure him to resign, or stop him from winning another term.

Another report alleged that information collected from millions of TikTok users could be used to place authentic names, addresses, and identification numbers on the fraudulent licenses, making them more difficult to detect.

The release by the US government in July, via an earlier TGP report by Patriot Perspective, revealed China’s massive, multi-year US election interference campaigns.

The documents depict a foreign adversary determined to exploit America’s political divisions.

The most alarming material concerns the collection of Americans’ personal information.

According to the released records, Chinese-linked operatives obtained more than 220 million American voter records totaling approximately 45 gigabytes. The information reportedly included names, addresses, telephone numbers, political affiliations, and other details potentially useful for political targeting or voter registration activities.

On Thursday, Garland Favorito and VoterGA released more information on China’s involvement in US elections and particularly to thwart Trump.

The communist regime knew that China Joe was their man.

ATLANTA, GA. AUGUST 27, 2026 – More declassified communications re0leased this month confirm those released in July, showing China conducted massive, multi-faceted, U.S. election interference campaigns starting in 2018 or earlier, mostly against President Trump. Specifically, China and its nation-state actors:

1. Breached at least 18 states’ voter rolls and 28 U.S. company websites to mine the Personal Identifying Information (PII) of 220 million U.S. voters;
2. Shipped 20,000 fake U.S. drivers’ licenses into the U.S. for invalid 2020 voter registrations;
3. Illegally funneled money to congressional campaigns by using U.S. individuals as conduits;
4. Targeted email accounts of Executive Branch leadership, Congress and the federal judiciary;
5. Imposed tariffs on exports to China for U.S. sectors that favored President Trump;
6. Conducted a massive social media campaign to exploit divisions in U.S. society in a manner that denigrated President Trump;
7. Paid journalists, social media influencers and media contributors to write negative stories critical of President Trump;
8. Offered well-paid speaking engagements to think tank officials, academics, and former U.S. government employees in efforts to force them to lobby President Trump for reduced tariffs on Chinese imports;
9. Applied pressure to financial supporters of President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign to coerce them into withdrawing or reducing their support.

Documents further show most of the U.S. intelligence community repeatedly denied these activities and falsely reported in late 2020: “Beijing has not employed influence efforts…” and “Beijing did not intend to affect the election.” They also reveal how U.S. intelligence officers admitted to “…running a shadow government…” and how their reports were  “…deliberately messaged…to avoid any direct links to the election.” VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito added: “We have a national election security emergency that President Trump must rectify.”
