CNN flags a fresh wave of false Trump claims from NY Post interview

CNN fact-checks Donald Trump’s remarks from a New York Post interview and finds numerous false or misleading claims across areas like mail-in ballots, the 2020 and 2024 elections, border policy, inflation and gas prices, and the January 6 riot. The piece notes that many countries use mail-in voting, that the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, that Trump’s claims about the 2024 election and border “surges” are not supported by data, and that figures on inflation, investment, and crime are exaggerated or unsubstantiated. Overall, CNN’s editors conclude the interview contained a pattern of debunked or distortive assertions.
