Trump Walks Off Meet the Press Interview With Kristen Welker
Welker pressed Trump for evidence on election fraud claims and a $1.8 billion compensation fund before he walked off after about 50 minutes.
- President Donald Trump abruptly ended his NBC News interview with moderator Kristen Welker in Wisconsin, removing his microphone and leaving the set after a heated exchange over his election fraud claims.
- Welker challenged Trump's unsubstantiated allegations that California's primary elections are "rigged," noting the state's dayslong vote-counting process is standard procedure for processing mail-in ballots.
- Tensions rose as Welker questioned Trump on his $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, which he defended as protection for individuals persecuted by the federal government, including those who raided the Capitol on January 6th.
- Trump called the network "one-sided" and "crooked," telling Welker he had "had enough" after she repeatedly cited lack of evidence for his election integrity claims.
- The clash reflects ongoing friction between Trump and national media outlets during his pre-midterms Wisconsin visit, as he continues attacking the press as "crooked" while defending controversial policy initiatives.
