For many years, I have called for bold, swift, and decisive action to protect the integrity of America’s elections. Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately in a system that is secure—one where cheating and interference are not just difficult, but virtually impossible.

Unfortunately, the system we have today falls catastrophically short of that standard. Tonight, I am announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.

This evidence shows that the election system we have is dangerously exposed to hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference. Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you, the American People, and that changes right now.

The documents we will release starting tonight have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, along with the staff of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board—supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening, and fully confirmed their authenticity.
