FactChecking Trump’s ‘Meet the Press’ Interview

In his first post-election, sit-down broadcast interview, President-elect Donald Trump outlined his priorities for a second term. But in the interview, Trump continued to repeat inaccurate information related to immigration, crime, trade, health care and the election.

The interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker aired on Dec. 8.

Unsupported Claim About Jan. 6 Committee Evidence

Trump repeatedly and falsely claimed the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol — which he derisively called the “unselect committee” — had “deleted and destroyed all evidence” obtained in its investigation.
