Trump Walks Out of Meet the Press Over Unproven California Vote Claims
TL;DR
During a Meet the Press interview, President Trump repeated unproven claims that California election results were rigged, refused to provide evidence when pressed by host Kristen Welker, and abruptly walked off, accusing the press of crookedness. The moment followed a misread Los Angeles mayoral update that fed false fraud claims; officials say the data were misinterpreted and do not indicate cheating, while federal investigators in Los Angeles pursue election-fraud probes.
