NATO defense ministers agreed on the 2% benchmark in 2006 and reaffirmed it in 2014, before Trump's presidential campaign.
Independent tracking and U.S. oversight figures put aid allocations, disbursements and appropriations far below $350 billion.
Protests and incidents were localized near a federal facility; Portland as a whole was not burning down.
Reviews found the FBI deployed agents in response to the Capitol attack and did not authorize or direct them to incite illegal activity.
Certified results, audits, court rulings and election-security reviews found no fraud sufficient to change the result.
Inflation was still positive and had risen since the spring, with August CPI around 2.9% year over year.

Electricity prices were higher than a year earlier and higher than in January.
The figure exceeded the White House's own recent public tally and relied on commitments that were not documented as paid investment.
China had the world's largest operating wind-farm capacity and the largest number of operating wind farms.

Scientific evidence shows the planet is warming and that human greenhouse-gas emissions are the primary driver.
Scientists use both terms; climate change describes the broader effects of a warming planet, not a retreat from warming evidence.
The accord did not require the United States to pay $1 trillion, and U.S. climate-finance commitments were far lower.
The Paris accord took effect for all participating countries in 2016 and allowed each country to set its own voluntary targets.
Federal encounter data, even with estimated gotaways, did not come close to 25 million people entering the country.
Public polling averages showed his approval well below peaks from earlier in the year and his first term.
Untreated fever and pain during pregnancy can create maternal and fetal health risks, and acetaminophen remains a recommended option when needed.
Research found many Amish parents vaccinated at least some children, and autism has been documented in Amish communities.
Hepatitis B can spread from mother to baby at birth and through nonsexual household contact, and early infection is more likely to become chronic.
Studies have not found thimerosal or aluminum adjuvants in vaccines to be harmful in the way Trump suggested; thimerosal was already removed from routine childhood vaccines except some multidose flu shots.
Children do not receive 80 vaccines at once; the claim mischaracterized the recommended vaccination schedule.
Evidence does not show the combined MMR vaccine causes autism, and separate component shots are not available in the United States.
The childhood schedule does not give children 80 different vaccines, and the claim conflated doses, ingredients and visits.
Consumer prices were still rising, with year-over-year inflation around 2.9%.
Joe Biden won the certified election with 306 electoral votes and a national popular-vote margin of more than seven million.
Consumer prices were still rising, with annual inflation increasing to 2.9% in August from 2.7% in July.

No evidence established such an offer to Pelosi, and the House speaker did not control the D.C. National Guard.
The committee preserved extensive evidence with the National Archives and publicly released its report, more than 100 transcripts and other records.
Consumer prices were 2.9% higher than a year earlier and the inflation rate had risen for four consecutive months.
International homicide-rate comparisons did not place Chicago among the world's highest-ranked cities, though Chicago had a high number of murders among large U.S. cities.
Several examples were not wars or remained violent and unresolved; the claimed tally overstated both settlement and Trump's role.
Several cited disputes were not wars or were not conclusively settled, and experts disputed the claimed role in multiple examples.
Trump played a role in some ceasefires and accords, but several cited conflicts were not wars, remained violent or unresolved, or involved disputed U.S. influence.
Wind is variable, but grids use multiple power sources and storage rather than relying on wind alone.
Coal plants can use pollution controls, but coal combustion still emits pollutants and more carbon dioxide than other fossil-fuel power sources.
The cited inspector general report covered years spanning both administrations and did not establish that hundreds of thousands of children were missing or harmed.
Reported autism prevalence has risen, but researchers attribute much of the change to broader definitions, awareness and diagnostic practices rather than a demonstrated pharmaceutical cause.
Trump and his administration provided no corroboration, and country and prison experts rejected the allegation.
Research has shown associations in some studies, but no causal relationship has been established and other research points away from causation.
Research has not shown a causal link between correctly dosed acetaminophen use in children and autism.
Trump provided no corroborating evidence; country and prison experts and both Congolese governments rejected the allegation.
