Sen. Rick Scott Reacts to President Trump’s Release of CCP Election Interference Evidence |
|
| Dear Fellow Floridian, The revelations in President Trump's speech last week were truly shocking. Communist China is our enemy and will stop at nothing to undermine our republic and destroy our way of life. The deep state will stop at nothing to stay in power and control the American people. It should be clear to every American citizen — Republican, Democrat, and Independent — that it has never been more crucial to secure our elections against fraud and foreign interference. We need the SAVE America Act now. The Senate should be in Washington working around the clock to get this done. Use or lose the filibuster. Cancel recess. Whatever it takes. However long it takes. Sincerely,  Rick Scott United States Senator — |

Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. John Moolenaar Ask SEC Chairman Paul Atkins to Block Sanctioned CCP Companies’ Access to U.S. MarketsSenator Rick Scott and U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on China, sent a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins requesting the agency restrict sanctioned Chinese companies' access to U.S. capital markets to protect America's economy.On June 8, 2026, the Department of War issued a revised list of Chinese military companies operating directly or indirectly in the United States, as required by statute. The updated list expanded significantly from the prior year, adding 65 additional entities and representing the most comprehensive U.S. government assessment to date of companies that may support or contribute to the capabilities of the People’s Liberation Army. However, certain companies identified on the Section 1260H list continue to access U.S. capital markets, allowing them to raise capital from American investors. To address this problem, the lawmakers call on the SEC to establish clearer investor warnings, including a ticker symbol, for sanctioned companies from countries of concern, and leverage existing authority to impose temporary trading suspensions on securities issued by those companies. This letter is a continuation of Senator Scott’s efforts to untangle Communist China from the U.S. economy. As Chairman of the Senate Aging Committee, he has held multiple hearings to shed light on the national security risk Chinese involvement has in financial markets. In April 2025, the Committee held a joint hearing with the U.S. House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, “Financial Aggression: How the Chinese Communist Party Exploits American Retirees and Undermines National Security,” to expose the significant threats posed by Communist China to American investments, with a focus on the urgent need for seniors to safeguard their retirement savings from the CCP’s predatory practices. On Wednesday of this week, Chairman Scott hosted a hearing titled, “Behind the Label: Foreign Ownership and Control in America's Drug Supply Chain” to expose the disturbing degree to which Communist China controls the drugs in America’s medicine cabinets.

Rick Scott Discusses Election Fraud with James O’Keefe at HSGAC HearingLat week, at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) hearing on fraud across the country, U.S. Senator Rick Scott asked journalist James O’Keefe about his recent reports about election fraud in California.This follows shocking reports of election fraud that occurred in the Los Angeles Mayoral and gubernatorial primary elections in California on June 2, 2026. Aside from HSGAC Ranking Member Senator Gary Peters, all Democrat committee members refused to attend the hearing. Senator Rick Scott asked, “Mr. O'Keefe, your team returned to Skid Row after the DOJ indicted somebody for election fraud and found the same operation running openly: cash for signatures, fake voter data, and coaching on forgery. So, walk us through what you documented and what it tells you about whether the indictment deterred anybody. How widespread is the model beyond Skid Row in Los Angeles? Based on your investigation, do you think this model could easily be replicated in other states and cities around the country?” Watch Senator Scott's full line of of questioning to witness James O’Keefe HERE or below. Citizen journalist Nick Shirley, who exposed massive fraud in Minnesota and California, was also a witness before the committee. BACKGROUND: On June 12, 2026, Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate reports of voters being paid to register, voters registered to incorrect addresses, and irregularities in the recent mayoral primary in Los Angeles. Senator Rick Scott has been one of the loudest voices on passing the SAVE America Act. Earlier this week, he penned an op-ed in Fox News urging the Senate to deliver on key promises made to the American people, including election security, before leaving Washington, D.C. for a 5-week August recess.
