President Donald Trump has announced that he will deliver a televised address to the nation on the 16th (local time) at 9:00 PM (EST). MS NOW reported on the 13th that the address will focus on disclosing evidence of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election. 

Jake Traylor, a White House correspondent for MS NOW, stated on X, citing two anonymous White House officials, that "President Trump’s Thursday address will, according to the White House, cover a newly declassified intelligence report revealing the plans of foreign governments to interfere in the 2020 election."

MS NOW reported that "two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told MS NOW that a new White House task force, which has been reviewing thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents to find evidence of U.S. election fraud, is expected to begin releasing documents within weeks."

Accompanying President Trump during his address will be Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, and FBI Director Kash Patel. 

The FBI conducted a raid on the Fulton County, Georgia, election office this past January. The then-Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was present at the scene, which drew significant media attention. Although the raid was executed by the Department of Justice, the presence of the intelligence chief was criticized by the Democratic party. 

Through the raid, the FBI secured over 600 boxes containing original ballots, mobile phones, and computers. 

The Department of Justice also issued subpoenas requesting information on all election officials in Fulton County involved in the 2020 election.

The requested materials include: individuals responsible for reviewing mail-in ballots; individuals assigned to voter review boards/commissions; those assigned to mobile voting stations; individuals responsible for transferring results to or from media, or transporting ballots or media; individuals employed by or contracted with the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections; individuals who participated or volunteered in risk-limiting audits; those who participated or volunteered in recounts; and individuals who served as precinct managers and assistant managers. 

According to an MS NOW report from the 2nd, the FBI dispatched 260 analysts from across the country to the Atlanta field office to assist with the Fulton County investigation. These analysts were tasked with cross-verifying a total of 708 specific documents and records related to the seized materials. 

This action was taken after Director Patel designated the case as a "top priority investigation." 

According to MS NOW, the FBI is reportedly "investigating relationships between individuals, social media activity, business dealings, travel, and contacts with other subjects of investigation." This is interpreted as an effort to secure data to reconstruct the events.

Internal documents obtained by MS NOW indicate a clear deadline to complete this data review by Friday, the 17th. Fulton County officials are reportedly aware of this deadline, though they are unsure of its exact purpose.

However, the courts appear to be putting a brake on the FBI's investigation and prosecution.

Last week, U.S. District Judge William Ray, appointed by President Trump, quashed the subpoenas, stating that the requirements constituted a serious invasion of privacy and that the statute of limitations for potential crimes directly related to the 2020 election had already expired. 

There has also been backlash from the Democratic party. Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) stated in a letter to Director Patel and Acting Secretary Blanch, "The large-scale deployment of FBI agents and resources to Atlanta to investigate the results of the 2020 election is another alarming sign that this administration is repeating attempts to invalidate, overturn, or cast doubt on election results that do not align with its partisan views." 

She added, "I strongly condemn these efforts and oppose the Department of Justice's diversion of our agents to assist in the President's witch hunt, which endangers the safety of the American people."

It is interesting to note that President Trump is delivering his address the day before the FBI's internal deadline for concluding its investigation, having announced the speech on Monday, three days prior.

This has led some to speculate that "the information has already been gathered and the reconstruction of events is complete." Among conservatives who have alleged election fraud, rumors have recently been circulating that "something big is about to drop."

Meanwhile, attention is also focused on whether the upcoming address regarding foreign election interference will confirm any involvement by South Korea.

Former Ambassador for International Criminal Justice Morse Tan stated that evidence submitted in a lawsuit regarding election fraud filed by Mike Lindell in Colorado alleged that a server in Michigan was hacked from Seongnam, South Korea, resulting in the deletion of 6,432 votes for Trump.

Additionally, the investigative media outlet 'Project Veritas' previously claimed that a Korean Air charter flight (registration number HL8230) that landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on November 7, 2020, was carrying fake ballots and identification cards.
