CNN’s Kaitlan Collins attempted to corner the Trump White House during Thursday’s press briefing, questioning why no criminal charges have been filed if the evidence President Donald Trump is expected to discuss in his speech is as significant as the administration has suggested.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired a clear warning shot, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the evidence has not even been fully declassified yet and that Americans will see it for themselves tonight.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “Regarding the president’s speech tonight, he’s been in office over 540 days now. If what he says tonight is backed up by evidence, why hasn’t anyone been charged?”
Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt: “He hasn’t revealed it yet. He hasn’t declassified the documents yet and you will see what he says tonight and then we’ll move forward appropriately from there.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump is expected to drop major revelations tonight about Chinese Communist Party meddling in U.S. elections, including evidence that Beijing compromised American voter data and that the CIA knew about it during Trump’s first term and deliberately withheld the information from him.
The president will be joined by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Acting DNI Bill Pulte, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and FBI Director Kash Patel. A White House task force is also preparing to release newly declassified intelligence documents related to the 2020 election.
President Trump has repeatedly said free and fair elections are the foundation of the country. Tonight, he is expected to show the nation exactly what foreign adversaries, and those inside the government who enabled or ignored them, were willing to do to undermine that foundation.
