About this episode

The episode discusses President Trump's claims about vulnerabilities in the US election system and the response from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is set to deliver remarks on election security in the next hour, just hours after President Trump delivered a primetime address on potential vulnerabilities in the US election system. The president revealed a series of newly declassified documents he claims were hidden from the American people, which show the election system has major vulnerabilities. However, a review of those documents by CNN has found that these issues were previously known and were included in a 2021 assessment from the US intelligence community.    Learn more about your ad choices.
