President Donald Trump is set to take center stage Thursday night in what the White House is billing as a major primetime address, and reports suggest the president could unveil newly declassified intelligence tied to alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election.
The nationally televised speech, scheduled for 9 p.m. Eastern, has drawn intense attention after Trump teased earlier this week that he would be announcing “really big news.” While the White House has remained tight-lipped about the president’s prepared remarks, multiple media outlets have reported that election integrity, foreign interference, and newly released intelligence are expected to dominate the address.
Adding to the anticipation, senior intelligence officials are expected to join the president, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte. Pulte has reportedly overseen the review of classified materials that are now slated for declassification, fueling speculation that Thursday’s speech could mark the public release of significant findings.
