President Donald Trump used a primetime address from the White House East Room on Thursday night to release a set of newly declassified intelligence he said proves foreign governments — China chief among them — interfered in the 2020 election and that U.S. voting systems remain dangerously exposed. He described an election apparatus so "broken" that, in his words, it could not be defended. It was his first formal national address since April, landing roughly four months before November's midterms, in which current polling favors Democrats to retake the House.
