"O presidente Donald Trump abandonou abruptamente uma entrevista gravada para o programa "Meet the Press", da rede NBC, que foi ao ar neste domingo (7), após ser pressionado sobre suas alegações infundadas de fraude eleitoral... O episódio ocorreu em uma fazenda em Wisconsin"
The specific moment that triggered the abandonment was when Trump responded to questions about evidence by saying "Everything I need to do is look, and I listen." When Welker stated that "that is not evidence," Trump accused the press of being "corrupt" and ended the conversation: "Sorry, we're going to end because I've had enough." ✓

"A entrevista começou com declarações de Trump de que as primárias na Califórnia e a eleição presidencial de 2020 teriam sido "fraudadas". Ao ser questionado sobre provas, ele respondeu: "Tudo o que tenho que fazer é olhar, e eu escuto". Quando Welker afirmou que aquilo "não é evidência", Trump acusou a imprensa de ser "corrupta" e encerrou a conversa: "Desculpe, vamos encerrar porque já tive o suficiente"."
Trump's election fraud allegations faced systematic rejection in federal courts after 2020. In the Bowyer v. Ducey case in Arizona, federal judge Diane J. Humetewa dismissed accusations of a "scheme to defraud" the vote count, ruling that plaintiffs "wholly failed" to provide factual support and that "allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court." ?

"Not only have Plaintiffs failed to provide the Court with factual support for their extraordinary claims, but they have wholly failed to establish that they have standing for the Court to consider them. Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court."
The interview also addressed the $1.8 billion fund proposed by Trump to compensate people convicted for the January 6, 2021 Capitol attacks. According to Associated Press reporting on Monday, Trump is reconsidering whether to move forward with the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" amid legal setbacks and Republican backlash, with a person familiar with his thinking confirming the potential retreat. ✓
