President Trump says China stole voter registration information from 220 million Americans in what he called the largest election data breach in history.
Details of the Breach
During a White House speech, Trump said the stolen information included names, addresses, phone numbers, political party information, and other personal data. He stated that the data was used as part of a Chinese effort to interfere in U.S. elections and ordered federal agencies to investigate how the information was handled.
U.S. intelligence officials have previously reported that China accessed voter registration data from multiple states, but the number of affected Americans has not previously been made public.
