President Donald Trump’s first Cabinet meeting Wednesday of his new administration was riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods, says CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale, who delivered a boatload of receipts on “Inside Politics.”
Host Dana Bash kicked things off with Trump’s claim that “60 Minutes” altered the answers of former Vice President Kamala Harris during an interview last year rather than merely editing the footage. A full interview transcript has since proven that the video was only edited.
Dale went on to fact-check a whole host of other claims Trump made during the meeting, including false claims about U.S. aid to Ukraine, America’s education ranking, mail-in voting, tariffs on China, fentanyl deaths — and Elon Musk’s controversial email to federal workers.
