特朗普政府已经解散或削弱了美国司法部、国家情报局长办公室等关键机构内负责调查针对美国选举的外国和国内威胁的安全部门。1 选举威胁工作组在2021至2024年间收到2000多份威胁报告，启动了100多项调查，其间共起诉21起案件。1 帕姆·邦迪就任司法部长后的第一天即解散了FBI外国影响工作组。1
这一转变导致执法重心发生明显偏移。司法部在过去五周内起诉90多人投票欺诈罪，其中50名为非公民，相比之下拜登政府任期内仅起诉13起此类案件。1 特朗普在7月16日的黄金时段讲话中声称中国在2020年选举期间获取了大量选民信息，但这些说法缺乏证据支持。1 同时，民主党议员在2025年预算谈判中保留选举完整性资产的请求被忽视。1
The Trump administration has dissolved or weakened security units within key U.S. agencies, including the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, that were responsible for investigating foreign and domestic threats to American elections.1 Instead of maintaining focus on actual election security risks, officials have redirected their efforts toward unsubstantiated claims of widespread noncitizen voter fraud.1
The shift represents a significant departure from previous enforcement priorities. Between 2021 and 2024, the Justice Department's Election Threats Task Force prosecuted 21 cases and received over 2,000 threat reports, launching more than 100 investigations.1 In contrast, the department has now pursued over 90 voter fraud prosecutions in the past five weeks, with 50 targeting noncitizens—a dramatic increase compared to 13 cases brought during the Biden administration.1 Within her first day as Attorney General, Pam Bondi disbanded the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force.1
The administration has also made unsubstantiated claims about foreign interference in past elections. President Trump asserted during a prime-time address on July 16 that China obtained substantial voter information during the 2020 election,1 though these claims lack evidentiary support.1 Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers' requests to preserve election integrity resources during 2025 budget negotiations were disregarded.1
