President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he plans to deliver a primetime address on Thursday evening that will address topics related to the 2020 presidential election and other matters. He described the content of the upcoming speech as involving significant developments in the controversial result.
“It’s really, really big news, and our country has to shape up. But that’s what we’re going to be talking about Thursday. It doesn’t get bigger because without free and fair elections you don’t have a country,” Trump said.
The address is expected to cover longstanding claims concerning the 2020 election outcome, including assertions about foreign interference and issues involving voting machines and election integrity. Previous reports indicate that Trump plans to reference newly declassified information in support of these claims.
Intelligence officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, are scheduled to participate. Pulte has overseen a review of documents slated for declassification.

The planned remarks occur in the context of ongoing federal actions related to election administration, including matters in Georgia. The Peach State uses voting systems that have been subject to public discussion regarding paper ballots, ballot-marking devices, and tabulation equipment.
Separately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has directed additional personnel to support an investigation centered on Fulton County, Georgia, concerning aspects of the 2020 election. An internal FBI memo issued earlier this month called for a surge of 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists from field offices nationwide to assist with what the memo described as a “priority investigation.”
Each assigned analyst is tasked with completing approximately 708 records checks, with a deadline of July 17. The memo authorized overtime, including on weekends and holidays, and noted that the Atlanta field office would provide training for the operation. The analysts involved are specialists in record review rather than special agents.
The latest developments build on FBI investigations that have been ongoing for several months.
Back in January, federal agents conducted a raid on an election warehouse in Fulton County and seized more than 600 boxes of materials. These included original ballots from the 2020 election, along with tapes, voter rolls, and images.
The expanded resource allocation represents a significant increase in personnel dedicated to reviewing the seized materials from the January raid.
