How Trump’s address was bluntly aimed at destabilizing the US electoral system
US president using office and intelligence agencies to try to undermine confidence in elections before midterms
Donald Trump used the imprimatur of the presidency and United States intelligence agencies to try to undermine confidence in American elections in a presidential address on Thursday that seemed bluntly aimed at laying the groundwork for further destabilizing the electoral system before November’s midterm elections.
