Trump Is About to Lie to You About 2020. Here's What's Actually True.

Tonight Trump is giving a national address about foreign interference in the 2020 election. Grant recorded this episode to get ahead of the lies before they air.Here's what is actually proven: In April 2021, the US Office of National Intelligence, compiled by intel officers Trump himself appointed,  found with a high degree of confidence that China did not attempt to influence the outcome of the 2020 election. The joint report from Trump's own Department of Justice and Homeland Security said they had no evidence of any foreign government compromising election infrastructure to manipulate results. John Ratcliffe, Trump's own Director of National Intelligence at the time, was briefed on that report and signed off on it. He will be standing next to Trump tonight.Trump is expected to claim China hacked voter rolls to manufacture mail-in ballots. For that to be true, the operation would have had to bypass the DHS, the FBI, the Pentagon, the CIA, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency Trump himself created in 2018, every state-level election safeguard, every local election safeguard, and every audit, including 60-plus court cases, not one of which was decided in Trump's favor.Grant also breaks down the real reason for the speech: the Save America Act, the August 4th voter roll deadline, the "People's Executive Order" that has been circulating in the White House since February, and what declaring a national emergency over the 2026 election would actually allow Trump to do.0:00 Trump is giving a national address tonight.
