President Donald Trump still hasn’t given up on the idea that he really won the 2020 election, no matter how many conspiracy theories have been disproven.
Now, six years after losing that election, Trump appears set to make another such claim.
Trump announced on Truth Social that he will deliver a primetime address on Thursday night. One would think that this would concern recent events in Iran, where Trump informed Congress that the U.S. is once again at war. But according to one report, it’s about something else.
“President Trump plans to deliver a Thursday evening speech addressing newly declassified intelligence reports that the White House asserts reveal plans by foreign nations to interfere in the 2020 election, according to two White House officials granted anonymity to discuss internal plans,” MS NOW”s Jesse Rodriguez said on X.

It’s not clear which nations Trump might accuse of interfering in 2020- Iran? China? Russia, or how it might jibe with previously alleged conspiracy theories about that election.
“President Donald Trump plans to claim in a speech Thursday that newly declassified intelligence reports reveal a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election,” the network said, citing MS NOW’s reporting. They added that “CIA Director John Ratcliffe, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin” will join the president.
It’s not clear what Trump will allege. If it involves Iran, it might be used as a cause to expand the war, and whatever country it is, it could be used as an excuse to clamp down on voting rights ahead of the midterm elections.
There’s also a chance that it could merely recycle old news:
