President Donald Trump is expected to use a primetime address on Thursday to highlight previously unreported allegations of Chinese involvement in U.S. elections, reported by CBS News, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Trump is expected to allege that Beijing compromised U.S. voter data and that the CIA knew about the activity but did not inform him during his first term.

CBS News noted that a 2021 U.S. intelligence assessment concluded with high confidence that China did not attempt to influence the outcome of the 2020 election or interfere with election infrastructure.

However, a minority intelligence view suggested Beijing sought to undermine Trump's reelection through messaging rather than election systems.

The report also said a declassified 2020 intelligence document found China analyzed U.S. voter registration data for public opinion research.
