Did China deny interfering in U.S. elections after Trump’s claim?
A denial from China. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, claiming today they never interfered in U.S. elections after President Trump said they did in 2020.
The Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. president.
And the president claimed in his address from the White House last night.
What did President Trump allege about China collecting voter data and urging voter ID laws?
Eighteen states have been bought, stolen or hacked by China. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden.
The president says he's declassified some of the information, alleging China gathered voter information on about 200 million Americans. He also again urged Congress to pass a voter ID and proof of citizenship voting law.
And before the Trump address, Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said, This is about laying groundwork to undermine the 2026 election before a single vote has been cast.
President Trump also criticized ABC and NBC for not carrying his address last night, calling that fraud, suggesting their licenses should be revoked, though in the past networks have not broadcast other presidents' primetime speeches. The U.S. bombed Iran again overnight. A central command in a statement says they hit military targets, including surveillance and air defense sites and infrastructure. Iran's media reports bridges were struck in the sixth straight night of U.S. attacks. Fox's Lucas Tomlinson's in Tel Aviv.
The White House relaunched the air campaign in response to the regime's previous attacks on shipping.
President Trump is not going to sit by and allow these active acts of terrorism to take place in the straight without ensuring Iran pays consequences for that. And that's what we are witnessing right now.
Iran's response to the American airstrikes attacks against Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.
Kuwait reports this morning Iran had a power plant and a water desalination plant doing a lot of damage. Two people are now dead in the South Texas flooding. Hundreds of others needed water rescues. Some areas got more than two feet of rain this week.
America's listening to Fox News.
President Trump has said he's made Washington, D.C. safer deploying the National Guard after he took office again, and those troops may stay in the nation's capital until the end of his second term.
The Guard deployment was set to end at the end of this year after being extended, but the Pentagon now says the mission will continue until January 20, 2029, or until terminated by the president. President Trump signed an executive order in August 2025 to deal with what he called a crime emergency, calling up the Guard and other federal law enforcement, though local officials had said crime was already going down. Deployments to other cities have ended or have been paused by courts in California and Illinois, while more limited operations are ongoing in cities including New Orleans. Lisa Lucera, Fox News.
President Trump's bringing back an immigration policy from his first term that President Biden undid. A rule that would deny green cards and legal status to immigrants using food stamps, Medicaid, or other public benefits. There's a new drug for Americans dealing with a dangerous health condition.
The FDA approves the first cholesterol-lowering pill that works like a powerful class of injectable drugs. Mark's new medication, Lipthindra... is designed for patients whose LDL, or bad cholesterol, remains high even after taking statins. In clinical trials, the once-daily pill lowered the artery-clogging cholesterol by more than 55% when added to standard treatment. Experts say the approval could expand access to treatment that's previously only been available as costly injections. Carmen Roberts, Fox News.
On Wall Street, a sell-off's brewing even bigger than yesterday's losses. Dow futures are down more than 300 points. It's over 500 for the Nasdaq.
