“THE RUSSIA HOAX — SHOCKING DETAILS!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Claims that the entire Russia investigation or the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment were a “hoax” or fabricated are not supported by the preponderance of evidence from multiple independent investigations, including those conducted by Special Counsel Mueller, Congress, and oversight entities. Substantial evidence clearly establishes that Russia engaged in influence and interference operations during the 2016 election, with documented…
“Blue Slips need to go, bad for the Republican Party, and our Country!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that “Blue Slips need to go bad for the Republican Party and our Country” is misleading and inaccurate.

While crime, especially carjacking and homicide, has significantly decreased—continuing a downward trend already underway prior to the federal involvement—DC is not crime-free. Official year-to-date statistics show ongoing incidents of homicide, violent crime, and…

Fact-Check Summary The claim that six people were killed and 24 shot in Chicago last weekend is an exaggeration not supported by most official or credible reports, which recorded between two to four fatalities and up to 30 shooting victims depending on the timeframes. Governor JB Pritzker did publicly reject offers of federal intervention on law enforcement, stating that Illinois…
