HAPPENING NOW: Trump is addressing the nation with what he's calling "really big news" on elections. The reality? He's spent nearly six years pushing false claims about 2020 that have been debunked by his own administration, election officials and courts. We're fact-checking him LIVE below👇

Trump: "To reveal just how vulnerable our elections continue to be, we are releasing the results of a stunning investigation by DHS... they identified approximately 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections."

How, exactly, did they determine non-citizens are registered to vote? 1) some jurisdictions allow non-citizens to vote in LOCAL elections, 2) did any of those registered actually vote in federal elections (which is a crime)? His ignorant followers will believe his ridiculous lies.

CA goes to great lengths to confirm the legitimacy of every vote. With so many people choosing to vote by mail, an accurate count takes time. We would like a faster vote count. But Trump’s allegations are baseless. In fact a Republican beat a large field to make the November ballot for governor

Trump ends his speech with a call to pass his "No. 1 priority," the SAVE America Act. He says "the only reason you wouldn't do it is you want to cheat, because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can't get elected any other way."

TRUMP: Claimed China obtained 220 million U.S. voter files and accused intelligence officials of concealing election threats. FACT: U.S. intelligence concluded that no foreign actor attempted to alter voter registration, ballot casting, vote tabulation or the reporting of 2020 election results.

TRUMP: Pointed to California’s slow vote count while claiming U.S. elections are vulnerable to interference. FACT: California’s timeline is the result of state laws that give it time to count millions of votes before certification. A slow count is not evidence of fraud or interference.
