White House Claims China Hacked 220 Million US Voter Files
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry delivered the claim during Trump's primetime election security address alongside CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
- Landry said the stolen files held voters' names, home addresses and phone numbers.
- Ratcliffe said China influenced 2020, breaking with the January 2021 intelligence assessment.
- The address also unveiled declassified documents and floated the SAVE America Act.
Why it matters: An unaudited number becomes official truth the moment a podium repeats it often enough.
