Former US President Trump claimed that China widely interfered in the 2020 presidential election and influenced the results, releasing related materials. Trump argued that China illegally obtained 220 million pieces of US voter data and attempted to manipulate the election results using it. He also criticized intelligence agencies for concealing China's interference attempts and urged a judicial investigation. However, major media outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, and NBC assessed that Trump's claims were nothing more than rehashed existing information or conspiracy theories. Intelligence agencies acknowledged awareness of China's election interference attempts but concluded they were not carried out. They also pointed out that voter data is something anyone can purchase.
