Trump election task force to begin releasing classified intel documents

Source: MS NOW News

Jul. 13, 2026, 5:00 AM EDT


A new White House task force reviewing thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents for evidence of irregularities in U.S. elections is expected to begin releasing documents within weeks, two U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter told MS NOW.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, whose acting chief, Bill Pulte, has been accused by Democrats of politically weaponizing federal government information, will be part of the effort. Democrats say that Trump has placed Pulte in the position so that he can aid Republicans in the midterm elections and potentially limit voting by Democrats.

Pulte has no intelligence experience and also serves as the administration’s top federal housing official. Pulte referred multiple Trump political rivals for Justice Department criminal prosecution last year based on mortgage information he obtained from government databases. None of those cases have resulted in convictions.

The release of the documents appears to be part of a series of accelerating efforts by Trump and his aides to again question the results of the 2020 election, claim that widespread voter fraud occurs in the country and decrease public trust in the results of pivotal elections this fall that will decide control of Congress.

Its old old 'news' but I am sure the Right wing/fox media will pass it as the truth!

prove something, it's always the opposite. They don't understand the info or try to spin it and it always- always does the opposite proving them WRONG. I expect this to do the same.

There will not be shred of proof, although they will claim it's all factual.
