Ex-Trump Official H.R. McMaster Testifies, Says Election Doubt Aids Adversaries
Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster testified before the House Select Committee on Intelligence on July 21, 2026, delivering a pointed critique of President Donald Trump's election conspiracies. McMaster stated that undermining confidence in U.S. elections 'is doing the bidding of our adversaries.' He specifically referenced the January 6 Capitol insurrection and Trump's recent address to the nation, where Trump repeated false claims about his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, blamed China for interference, and criticized mail-in ballots. McMaster argued that political leaders who compromise faith in democratic processes for partisan gain are 'aiding and abetting' foreign enemies. The testimony marks a significant public break from the former Trump administration official, who served as National Security Adviser from 2017 to 2018 before being fired.
