Tonight POTUS is declassifying records about the Chinese Community Party's "multi-domain" influence operations in 2020.
CCP used all elements of government power, trade, diplomacy, social media, open source reporting to undermine his re-election.
President Trump called it "the largest compromise of election data in history," resulting in China's acquisition of 200 million US voter files.
NOTE: CCP could use this data for multiple purposes: voter fraud, identity theft and to target Americans for recruitment.
President Trump said the Chinese influence operations was intentionally suppressed by elements of the US intelligence community and withheld from him.
In April, I reported on the whistleblower complaint that is central to the China election influence and meddling allegations.
For speaking up about the bias, and the suppression of intelligence, the whistleblower was severely retaliated against.
There is an opportunity now to make it right for them and their family.
@ImGinnyRobinson What does Trump have to do with this? And we arenโt โmergingโ our militaries. Itโs essentially the same thing we already do with Five Eyes countries.
@GenXGirl1994 Do you have any idea what the laws are in South Carolina or youโre just deciding to have a strong opinion on something you literally know nothing about?
Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts.
1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer.
He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill.
3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms.
4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy.
The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided.
5) Calling me a liar wonโt change the facts. Iโd be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.
@oliverhenry Thank you for all the love and respect you have shown to the U.S. and our President. I hope you continue to enjoy your time here and continue making great memories!
