After what Trump administration officials had billed as an historic presidential address on “election integrity” revealed precious little in the way of new — or accurate — information about the election Donald Trump lost six years ago, it’s clear that the president and his closest allies aren’t backing away from their efforts to meddle in the November midterm elections.
