Trump serves up massively false claim about his 91 criminal charges



At the end of his four years as President, The Washington Post published its final, regularly updated list of all the “false or misleading claims” Donald Trump made, totaling 30,573.

Also at the end of his four years in office, McSweeny’s published, “Lest We Forget the Horrors: A Catalog of Trump’s Worst Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes: The Complete Listing: Atrocities 1 – 1,056.”

On Monday, Trump told a falsehood about the 91 criminal charges he’s facing, charges in four different indictments across three jurisdictions:

They don’t exist – he was never indicted, not according to Donald Trump, who made that claim during a campaign event in New Hampshire.

“Mr. President,” a reporter asked Trump on Monday, “you said Sidney Powell wasn’t your attorney, are you concerned that you won’t be covered by attorney-client privilege?”

“No, not at all,” Trump replied. “We did nothing – This is all Biden. Indictments, and impeachments, and this is all about Biden, he can’t do anything right. The only thing they know how to do is cheat on elections and election fraud. This is all Biden’s. All of these indictments that you see. I was never indicted. Practically never heard the word. It wasn’t a word that registered.”

Again, that’s false.

“Former president Donald Trump faces a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases,” The Washington Post reported in August. “They include 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, all of them felonies. Trump has denied wrongdoing in each case.”

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5...

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I...

Trump was hit by glass fragments — not a bullet: report

Image
Law enforcement officials have claimed to two different sources that former President Donald Trump was not grazed by a bullet but rather by glass shards. The officials in question told both Newsmax's Alex Salvi and Axios' Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass shards that may have erupted from the shattering of a teleprompter that was hit by gunfire. Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the person suspected of firing a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, as had at least one person in the crowd. Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots had been fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for injuries. The identity of the shooting suspect has not yet been released. from Alternet.org https://ift.tt/ILgqr53 via sinceretalk
