President Donald Trump is expected to use his primetime address on Thursday to present what he describes as new information on foreign interference in U.S. elections, reported by CNN.

According to the report, White House officials have been debating whether to declassify intelligence documents related to China's alleged election activities and other election security matters.

Some of the material reportedly dates back to Trump's first term and is expected to be presented as information that was previously withheld.

The report said Trump will also discuss alleged vulnerabilities in voting systems as part of a broader announcement on election security.

However, some administration officials have reportedly expressed concerns that releasing classified material could undermine public confidence in elections or expose intelligence methods.

State election officials are closely watching the speech, fearing it could reignite debate over election integrity.

The report noted that intelligence assessments released after the 2020 election concluded Russia conducted influence operations, while China did not attempt to alter the election's outcome.
