What the evidence supports

Supported

Trump held a Cabinet meeting at Camp David that was opened to the press.

The Roll Call/Factba.se schedule and full transcript document the Camp David Cabinet meeting and the public transcript record.

False

Minnesota and Gov. Tim Walz were behind recent cyberattacks on Minnesota water systems.

AP reported that authorities had not identified Minnesota or Walz as the source; federal cyber agencies had warned of Iranian targeting of water and wastewater systems.

False

Prescription-drug discounts of 300% to 600% have been achieved.

AP noted that a price cut above 100% would mean patients were paid to take drugs, making the percentage claim impossible as stated.

False

Biden allowed 25 million people into the United States.

AP cited Customs and Border Protection data showing about 10.8 million border arrests from January 2021 through December 2024, with repeat crossings meaning people counted were fewer than arrests.

Misleading

Trump ended eight wars.

AP found the claim exaggerated: Trump has mediated between nations, but at least two cited cases were not wars to end and his role was less clear-cut than the claim suggests.

Unresolved

Spain's weak law and bad management caused the Ceuta migrant surge.

AP reported that the immediate cause remained unclear. Spain rejected the premise, while reporting identified social-media misinformation, a court ruling, smugglers and underlying economic pressures as competing explanations.

Transcript audit

2 transcripts located

These full-text records were checked for testable factual claims. A verdict appears above only when corroborating evidence supports one.

Bottom line

The public record is transcript-rich, but the most assessable claims came from the Cabinet meeting and were substantially disputed by same-day AP fact-checking.
