On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference. The ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2020. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 10, 2020.

I think this is good on two points even though I think this foreign interference in the election crap is complete another bull crap
First of all we saw a shift that complete loser who should be in jail try it out yesterday and try to claim once again that Russia is trying to interfere in the election for Trump even though they tried that for three years got nowhere and got embarrassed they’re still try to go with that story
Second are great and wonderful leader gets to get out in front of this and also change the subject to China
China clearly wants Trump gone and wants Biden to win and are much more dangerous than insidious than the Russians
But... but Russia!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
(in your mind's eye insert appropriate graphic here)
I’m going to report you to the mods. You and your little dog.
Hmmmm
Ummm, you’re already on The List...
This means that the very powers used illegally against
Trump can now be used legally against anyone communicating
with foreign powers in the interests of influencing the
coming election.
Well played, Mr.President and it covers the first six
months of his second term too.
Some people should be afraid, very afraid.
