President-elect Donald Trump was fact checked over his migration statistics while on Meet The Press this weekend, and it turns out there has been a mix-up over the numbers of migrant murderers entering the U.S.
Speaking with Kristen Welker on December 8 Trump said: "So we had 11,000, and 13,000, there are different estimates. 13,099 murderers released into our country in the last three years.
"They're walking down the streets. They're walking next to you, and your family."
To which Welker responded: "The 13,000 figure I think goes back about 40 years."
