President Donald Trump's underwhelming Thursday-night address was immediately undercut by experts who fact-checked his claims.
In his speech, the president repeated claims that the 2020 election had been stolen, that electronic voting machines were insecure and had been compromised by foreign actors, and that China acquired 220 million U.S. voter files, among other accusations.
Ben Ginsberg, a Republican election lawyer, told CNN's Kaitlan Collins immediately following the speech that, despite the president's claims and references to declassified documents uploaded online, there was still no evidence of any effect on an election result.
"What stood out to me is that there's still no evidence of a result of any election being incorrect," Ginsberg told Collins.
"There still was not the documents, there still was not the evidence, although we'll see what's produced," Ginsberg said, before responding to a number of specific claims Trump made.
The 74-year-old, who has worked for the RNC, George Bush's presidential campaign and the Republican Governors Association, also discussed the president's claims about Chinese interference in the 2020 election.
"The administration has cut back on the cybersecurity agency, CISA, and the Department of Justice outfit that helps states so that, in fact, if there is a problem with the 2026 election, it will be in large part because the defenses that are provided by the federal government to the states to stop that activity have been drastically cut back," he said.
Others fact-checked the president's claims online, including former national security expert Miles Taylor, who served as the Chief of Staff of the Department of Homeland Security during Trump's first term before making waves for questioning his fitness for office and campaigning against his re-election.
