Fact-check desk

What the evidence supports

False

The FBI was involved in causing the January 6 attack.

The Justice Department inspector general found no evidence that undercover FBI employees were in the protest crowds or at the Capitol.

Unresolved

Outside agitators were responsible for the January 6 violence.

FactCheck.org found Trump provided no evidence, and the inspector general report did not show outside agitators caused or directed the violence.

Misleading

Violence against police on January 6 consisted of very minor incidents.

More than 140 police officers were assaulted and the injuries included concussions, fractures and other serious harms.

False

Murderers in Philadelphia and Los Angeles often receive no prison time.

State murder penalties and Justice Department data did not support the broad comparison Trump used to justify the pardons.

False

Trump won the youth vote by 36 percentage points in 2024.

AP VoteCast found Harris won voters ages 18 to 29 by four points, and other survey estimates likewise did not support a 36-point Trump margin.

Misleading

Twenty-one million people entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration.

The figure exceeded recorded southwest-border encounters and treated encounters, including repeat attempts and people expelled or removed, as distinct people who entered and remained.

False

The 2020 presidential election was rigged.

Courts, audits and election-security officials found no outcome-changing fraud; Trump repeated the allegation in the Hannity interview.

Misleading

California turned off northern water to protect the Delta smelt, causing Los Angeles fire hydrants to run dry.

Some northern deliveries were limited, but Southern California reservoirs were above average and water experts said state supply restrictions did not cause the local hydrant failures.
