President Donald Trump was reportedly prepared to deliver a far more aggressive primetime speech before senior officials intervened.<\/p>\n

The 80-year-old president used Thursday\u2019s address to unveil newly declassified documents that he claimed had been hidden from him and the American public, arguing they showed the U.S. election system was \u201ccatastrophically short\u201d of the required standard.<\/p>\n

\n

According to senior officials who spoke to Politico, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, 38, pushed in the days before the speech for Trump to name intelligence officials he accused of concealing election interference before White House officials stepped in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPulte got really scared by the whole thing and pulled back,\u201d one official told Politico, adding that the director had gotten Trump \u201call spun up\u201d before becoming concerned that revealing names could put intelligence officers\u2019 lives at risk. <\/p>\n

Senior officials, including chief of staff Susie Wiles, reportedly warned Pulte that revealing the names could put intelligence officers at risk. \u201cHe realized people could die with his reckless behavior,\u201d the official said of Pulte.<\/p>\n

Even after that, officials remained concerned that Trump could veer off script during his Thursday primetime address. They reportedly told the president that \u201cthe way to be taken seriously is not to be crazy.\u201d <\/p>\n

Pulte has no prior experience in national security, intelligence, or law enforcement. He is serving as acting DNI, replacing outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, until a permanent nominee is appointed.<\/p>\n

Members of both parties have raised concerns about Pulte holding the role, with critics questioning whether he was selected because of his loyalty to Trump, who has called him \u201csmart\u201d and \u201cbrilliant,\u201d and his willingness to pursue the president\u2019s perceived political enemies.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, Pulte also raised concerns among intelligence officials after asking whether he could take the highly classified President\u2019s Daily Brief home\u2014a request a second source disputed, noting the briefing is delivered electronically. He also requested a protective security detail before beginning the role, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

With Pulte backing away from his push ahead of Thursday\u2019s speech and aides urging Trump to stay \u201con the rails,\u201d the president ultimately stuck to his prepared remarks. \u201cThere was going to be a lot of crazier s–t said,\u201d one official told Politico.<\/p>\n

Still, the president\u2019s speech\u2014which included repeated claims that the 2020 election was stolen, electronic voting machines were insecure and compromised by foreign actors, and China had obtained 220 million U.S. voter files\u2014quickly faced fact-checks. <\/p>\n

Republican election lawyer Ben Ginsberg told CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins that despite Trump\u2019s claims and references to declassified documents posted online, there was still no evidence of \u201cany election being incorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Republican pollster who spoke with Axios called the address a \u201cstupid move,\u201d saying swing voters responded with an \u201ceyeroll\u201d to another election fraud narrative. <\/p>\n

Some Trump administration officials reportedly believe the president\u2019s focus on voter fraud could help boost Republican turnout in November as he faces slipping approval ratings and waning enthusiasm among parts of his own base.<\/p>\n

The strategy comes as Trump grapples with voter frustration over his deeply unpopular war in Iran, which has pushed gas prices above $5 a gallon and intensified concerns over the cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPOTUS was happy with the way the speech played,\u201d one official told Politico, adding, \u201cBut I don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll keep pushing this or if this was enough to get it out of his system.\u201d<\/p>\n
