'Shadow government': Trump claims intel community bragged about hiding Chinese meddling

President Donald Trump accused the U.S. intelligence community of operating a 'shadow government' to conceal evidence of China's influence campaign on U.S. public perceptions, citing declassified emails showing internal disputes over characterizing Beijing's activities. Trump highlighted the release of intelligence to push for passage of the SAVE America Act, which aims to tighten election security measures, though the bill stalled in the Senate.
