President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a national address on Thursday evening at 9:00 PM Eastern, where he is expected to reveal newly declassified intelligence reports showing a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.
According to reports citing White House officials, Trump will be joined by top officials including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
The speech comes as a White House task force has been reviewing thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents related to irregularities in U.S. elections. Sources say the task force is preparing to begin releasing some of these materials in the coming weeks.
Trump announced the address earlier Monday on Truth Social, writing that he “will be making a Speech to the Nation on Thursday evening, at 9 P.M. Eastern,” without providing further details at the time.
The 2020 election has remained a central focus for Trump, who has consistently maintained that widespread fraud and irregularities cost him the race against Joe Biden. The issue has also been a driving force behind his strong push for the SAVE America Act, which seeks to implement strict proof-of-citizenship requirements, photo voter ID, and major restrictions on mail-in voting.
This Thursday’s address is expected to present declassified evidence that contradicts parts of the 2021 U.S. intelligence community assessment, which had concluded that no foreign actor successfully altered vote tallies or technical aspects of the election, while noting influence operations by Russia, China, and Iran.
The upcoming speech is likely to intensify the national debate over election integrity just months before the 2026 midterm elections.
