Trump Accuses China of 2020 Election Interference

Trump claimed that newly declassified files prove China meddled in the 2020 presidential election. Critics and intelligence officials have disputed these allegations. The speech triggered a sharp reaction in Beijing where officials dismissed the claims as fabricated. Trump also threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of major networks like ABC and NBC. This threat followed their refusal to carry his address live. He argued that these outlets should lose their licenses for failing to provide coverage of his remarks.
