President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address from the White House on Thursday in which he again raised claims of election fraud related to the 2020 presidential election and announced the release of declassified intelligence documents that he said concern election security. Trump called for stricter voting laws, including proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration and additional safeguards for voting systems, arguing that the measures are necessary to protect future elections. His address came less than four months before the U.S. midterm elections, placing election integrity at the center of his administration's political agenda.

During the address, Trump repeated longstanding allegations that foreign actors sought to influence the 2020 election and raised concerns about electronic voting systems and voter registration practices. He did not provide evidence showing that votes were altered or that the election outcome was changed. U.S. election officials, multiple state and federal investigations, audits, recounts and numerous court rulings have previously concluded that there was no evidence of widespread fraud sufficient to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. The White House also launched a website to accompany the release of the declassified material, while administration officials said the documents would support efforts to strengthen election security.
