President Donald Trump delivered a primetime speech on Thursday, during which he alleged that China engaged in systematic election interference in the 2020 presidential election, attempting to manufacture "illegal ballots" and seizing tens of millions of voters' personal data — doing everything in his power to validate his yearslong conspiracy theories that the election was stolen from him.

But reporter Isaac Saul of Tangle News took a deep dive through the documents Trump announced he is declassifying — and what he found, or rather, didn't find, spoke volumes.

President Donald Trump, as widely predicted, used his primetime address on Thursday night to announce that China has been working to compromise U.S. elections.

While he insisted he was not seeking to undermine confidence in elections, the speech was clearly downstream of years of his assertions, without any evidence, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) stuck her neck out for Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump's nominee to be Director of National Intelligence, when confronted about his refusal to definitively refute Trump's election conspiracy theories.

Clayton, now the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said that President Joe Biden was "certified" as president in 2020, but refused after repeatedly being pressed to say that he "won" the election — leading Democrats to accuse him of toeing the line so as not to upset his boss.

President Donald Trump is privately furious about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent moves to snub and try to control him, Axios reported on Thursday.

The spat between the two, who were firm allies for years as leaders of their respective countries' right-wing coalitions, involves multiple recent incidents.

Critics are hammering acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for agreeing to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's survivors only after a Republican senator threatened to tank his confirmation.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday morning that he would not vote to confirm Blanche until the acting attorney general sat down with the survivors.

A disgraced journalist with a history of questionable decision-making has been named as the architect of President Donald Trump's national address on Thursday night.

Teased bits of Trump's address suggest that he will use the primetime slot to rekindle some of his favorite conspiracy theories about the 2020 general election, like that he won the election, that China actually interfered in the election, and that the two Democratic senators from Georgia are illegitimate because of alleged voter fraud. All of those points seem to have the fingerprints of John Solomon, a Trump-aligned journalist who has a history of making untruthful statements and creating "every MAGA grievance narrative," reported Will Sommer of The Bulwark.
