Fact check: Trump’s false claims on immigration, Biden, Ukraine in DOJ remarks

In a Friday speech at the Department of Justice, President Donald Trump made multiple false claims regarding the legal system, crime, immigration, the war in Ukraine, and former President Joe Biden.
Trump repeated his unsubstantiated claim that Biden used his office to wield the legal system against him, despite the lack of any evidence supporting this.
Trump, who faces two federal prosecutions brought by special counsel Jack Smith concerning efforts to overturn the 2020 election and retention of classified documents, falsely claimed Biden was essentially found guilty and repeated false claims about immigration statistics during his presidencies.
Trump falsely stated that during his presidency Iran was broke and not funding groups like Hamas or Hezbollah, and also repeated a debunked claim about US and European aid to Ukraine, stating, "The US has spent maybe $350 billion aiding Ukraine," and "Europe has spent $100 billion aiding Ukraine."
Contrary to Trump's claims, Europe, including the European Union and individual European countries, committed approximately $269 billion in wartime aid to Ukraine through December 2024, exceeding the US commitment of about $129 billion, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
