To all of my supposedly learned colleagues in the news media, I have watched all day as you have supposedly tried to truth check President Donald Trump's speech on the claim that China "bought, stole or hacked" 220 million voter data files. You all must have gotten the same Democrat talking points memo that declares it's no big deal because anyone can buy voter registration data commercially. So China just did that, you shrugged. Nothing to see here, you yelled. Another exaggeration, you insisted.
Well, I am going to fact check your fact check and point out a potential "buy-us" bias. First off, the CIA, NSA, DNI and FBI checked then accuracy of every word of the president's speech and approved it before his speech was delivered. I know. I saw it personally. That includes the buy, stole and hack claim. I doubt you "fact checkers" bothered to check with the experts in the intel community. If you had, the intel agencies would have told you, as they told me, that the NSA's intercept data confirms China bought some, stole some and hacked some of the U.S. voter data.
But if you just prefer a Democrat handout, AI and X posts for writing your stories and don't like talking to humans, there were still some glaring clues sitting in front of you -- right in the documents the president gave you -- that confirm the voter data wasn't just bought by China. To begin, the NSA identified seven states that "bought" commercial data. But later it refers in the 2023 document to the larger collection of data of 220 million files as "compromised" or "leaked." Those are two terms the agencies use for illicit acquisition of data, not lawfully bought data.
Secondly, a very sensitive NSA intercept we got declassified from 2022 reports that a Chinese CNE -- a data exploitation unit -- was newly assigned in 2022 to the voter registration data project. These units don't do lawful data buys. They are cyber thieves. They are hackers. One such CNE was indicted by the Biden DOJ in 2024 for compromising 40 million voter files in Britain. (Funny thing is Biden's team decried that hack but didn't mention Americans had been hacked at a far larger scale."
But here is a third and dispositive piece of proof, according to the intel experts I talked with. Most states sell the data with basic information like name, address, political party and voting history, according to Ballotpedia.
But none give up Social Security numbers, almost none provide a full date of birth and nearly half don't provide phone numbers in the commercially sold data.
But the NSA data reports released by the White House clearly stated that the voter files in China's possession by 2023 had "birth dates" and "phone numbers." I rest my case.

"There is zero doubt that the NSA believed that our voting databases were hacked and stolen."@jsolomonReports that China utilized an advanced cyber intelligence group that bypasses legal channels entirely to infiltrate protected networks, in this case, the voter database. pic.twitter.com/GjizIO8hHX
