CNN's Brianna Keilar Finds Unexpected Grain Of Truth In Trump Presser
HuffPost
CNN’s damning fact check of the former president took a surprising turn.
CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Thursday warned viewers to buckle up ahead of a lengthy fact check of the multiple lies that Donald Trump told outside court following the closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in New York.
“We just have to fact-check a lot and, brace yourself, because this is going to take a moment there,” Keilar began. “Listen, the overarching message that he was really putting out there was he was saying that this is a [President] Joe Biden indictment. And it’s not. This is a civil fraud trial in New York. Joe Biden did not set this up.”
Keilar went on to debunk Trump’s false allegations about New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the $250 million lawsuit against himself and his company over allegations they routinely overinflated the value of assets for financial gain, and refuted Trump’s claims there was “no evidence of fraud.”
Co-host Boris Sanchez agreed, highlighting more misrepresentations from Trump and his attorney.
