The White House web site crashed as President Donald Trump addressed the nation Thursday evening to unveil what he claimed to be new evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, calling consideration once again to a repeatedly disproven conspiracy concept he has advocated for years.
Trump began his deal with by claiming that new evidence could be reviewable by the public that proves that the 2020 election, which was gained by President Joe Biden had been stolen, and Americans would find a way to access them via the White House’s web site. However, as the deal with went on, the web site was down.
“Tonight, I’m announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure. This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference. Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you,” he said during the deal with.
Images of the defective web site rapidly circulated on social media, with reporter Katie Pavlich posting on er X “Whitehouse.gov has gone down shortly after President Trump announced new paperwork about China stealing voter registration data have been posted there.”
Prior to the deal with, Trump had only provided obscure particulars about his speech. Wen requested by a reporter Tuesday if it will concern “election machines and integrity,” Trump said it will “concern that subject” and “we’ll have a couple of other things to say also.”

On Thursday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “President Trump will deliver a major address to the nation on protecting the integrity of our elections. And we encourage every American to tune in.”
She didn’t offer many details, but said that what the president planned to say “will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight” and will make the case that the U.S. will “need to make some adjustments moving forward,” including a strict voter ID bill he has been pushing.
Primetime presidential addresses are typically reserved for major milestones or nationally significant events.

Trump last gave a presidential address in April to speak on the Iran war, a month after it started. He said then that the U.S. would accomplish its objectives “very shortly” and that “the exhausting half is completed, so it must be straightforward.” The war, however, has dragged on, and strikes between the U.S. and Iran have intensified this week.
Trump also delivered a politically charged primetime speech in December, during which he sought to blame the challenging economic climate on Democrats.
At least some TV networks said Thursday that they would not carry the speech live, but would air it on their streaming services. Both ABC and NBC decided not to air the remarks live, but to carry them in full on their streaming services and break into network coverage as needed.
During the press briefing Thursday, Leavitt seemed to be still trying to persuade networks to carry the remarks live, saying, “I think that the mainstream media should air the president’s speech and allow the American people to draw their own conclusions from it.”
Leavitt said Trump may use his remarks to also address the economy and Iran, saying, “We have had conversations about him addressing a range of topics, and that could very well be possible tonight.”
Trump’s fixation on his loss to Democrat Joe Biden six years ago and the long-debunked theories he’s circulated about it are things he still brings up regularly when discussing other subjects. But elevating the deeply political and conspiratorial topics to a presidential primetime address underscores the lengths to which Trump has used his second term to both blow past norms and fixate on old grievances.
