Trump to give primetime speech on 2020 election: Sources

(NEW YORK) -- President Donald Trump is set to deliver a primetime address Thursday evening, during which he is expected to detail information that he has recently received from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence related to the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Trump has long pushed debunked conspiracy theories to claim that his 2020 election loss was fraudulent. It's not immediately clear what allegations he will make as part of his speech.

Sources caution Trump's plans can always change, but at this point "election fraud" is the topic of his 9 p.m. address.

Despite Trump's claims of voter fraud that contributed to his 2020 election loss, officials have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Asked about the speech, which he announced on his social media platform on Monday, Trump said it was "really big news," mentioning the importance of "free and fair elections."

"Thursday is, it doesn't get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country. We'll be discussing other things, too. But -- but it's going to be a very big announcement," Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Trump recently installed loyalist Bill Pulte, who has no previous national security experience, to lead DNI and has said that he wanted Pulte to declassify information and fire scores of experienced career staff.

Under the first Trump administration, officials already detailed efforts by Iran, China and Russia to influence the 2020 election, though officials later determined that none of their interference would have changed the election result. Initially Trump administration officials suggested China was also involved in influencing the election, a claim that was later determined by Trump's intelligence community to be false.

The White House is remaining tight-lipped about the president's Thursday night speech.

"The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say, which is why everyone should tune in," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement about the remarks.
