Trump Orders Investigation into Suppressed Intelligence on Chinese Plots

Former President Donald Trump demanded an immediate probe into alleged suppression of critical intelligence regarding Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. election. Speaking from the White House, Trump said that internal emails from intelligence agencies confirmed that senior officials deliberately altered his daily briefing to hide evidence of Beijing’s illicit activities.

He claimed that the CIA, FBI and other national‑security bodies produced dozens of reports linking China to voter‑data theft, election‑influence campaigns and attempts to pressure major American corporations into opposing U.S. policies. Trump alleged that these reports were never shared with the President, nor with congressional oversight committees.

Trump cited a recently de‑classified CIA assessment that described a strategic Chinese objective to diminish public confidence in the American presidency, potentially forcing a resignation or blocking a second term. He also referenced a separate intelligence memo that accused Beijing of trying to identify and financially support journalists critical of the Chinese government.

The former president ordered the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Justice and the FBI to conduct a thorough review of the alleged cover‑up, determine the responsible parties, and recommend any necessary criminal charges. He promised to release the findings to the American public via the White House website to restore faith in the nation’s electoral integrity.
