Trump’s 9/11 rescue tale under CNN fact-check scrutiny

CNN’s fact-check concludes that Trump’s latest account of being carried away by firefighters after the Sept. 11 attacks is unverified: he was miles away at Trump Tower when the attack occurred, there’s no public evidence he was at Ground Zero or led a rescue crew, and the White House did not provide corroboration. While there were evacuations near One Liberty Plaza in the days after 9/11, CNN finds no proof Trump was inside or involved in rescue work, and past versions of the tale have lacked documentation, making the claim misleading at best.
