House Administration Chair Requests Classified DHS FBI ODNI Briefing on Chinese Intrusions Into US Voter Systems

House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., sent letters Thursday to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting DNI Bill Pulte requesting a classified, Member-level briefing on non-citizen voter registrations and cyber vulnerabilities in voting systems 12. Steil asked DHS to be contacted by August 13 to schedule the briefing for September, along with any relevant documents 2. The request follows President Trump's July 16 address citing a DHS finding of more than 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote across California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill's subsequent disclosure of 6,600 non-citizens found on that state's rolls 1. Steil's letters also referenced Trump's claims of Chinese hacking intrusions into US voter registration systems, and the White House separately released a statement from intelligence agency chiefs characterizing China's targeting of voter files as likely meeting the intelligence community's definition of election interference 1.
