Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 20, 2026

The White House appears to be shielding China from scrutiny in President Donald Trump's push to get to the bottom of what he has declared an official cover-up of Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election. While Trump said in his Thursday speech to the nation that he had ordered the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to investigate what he calls an official cover-up of China's activities, there's so far been no mention of Beijing as a target of that probe or others. DOJ said in a statement that it's "following through on the president's directive," but declined to comment whether its investigation will extend to Chinese election meddling. The FBI, ODNI and CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump's simply looking for a fig leaf to cover what he intends to do anyway, steal the midterms.

Stinky just needs a boogeyman to scare the sheeple into justifying his seizing voting machines to try and steal the midterms.

He's not interested in stopping anything, just looking for an excuse.
