Part of President Trump's primetime speech on Thursday, July 15th, 2026, is expected to focus on previously unreported allegations of Chinese meddling in U.S. elections, according to sources familiar with the matter. The claims reportedly include accusations that Beijing compromised U.S. voter data and that the CIA was aware of this activity but did not share the information with the president.

The audience for the speech is anticipated to include members of the president's cabinet, such as the heads of the CIA, FBI, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and Department of Homeland Security, along with other agency officials and staff. However, some cabinet members will be absent due to scheduling conflicts.

When asked about the contents of the address, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, "As usual, anonymous sources are speculating about what President Trump will say during his speech on Thursday evening. The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say, which is why everyone should tune in."
