Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a primetime speech on Thursday, addressing a range of topics including the ongoing conflict in Iran and concerns about U.S. election integrity.
An unnamed senior adviser told Axios that the speech is intended to cover subjects Trump considers important, with the Iran war being a prominent point of discussion. The adviser noted that the specific content is subject to change but that addressing the conflict is a priority for the former president.
Reuters, citing an unnamed administration official, reported that Trump plans to speak on newly declassified intelligence related to investigations into U.S. elections. The White House has also raised concerns about potential risks associated with voting machines, which Trump is expected to highlight.
These planned remarks were first reported by MS NOW, according to two anonymous White House officials.
Trump has consistently asserted, without providing evidence, that the 2020 election and other past U.S. elections were rigged. These claims persist despite findings from his own Justice Department, numerous lawsuits, and independent studies that have failed to uncover evidence of significant irregularities in election outcomes.
