“When he found out that I, you know, that there may be tapes out there, whether it's governmental tapes or anything else, and who knows, I think his story may have changed.”

Topic: Russia

Source: Interview

Former FBI Director James Comey said that {the president's tweet about possible "tapes" of their conversations led him to believe their might be corroboration for the memos} that he had written while still FBI director. Comey took contemporaneous notes following each of his meetings with the president and president-elect, which he shared with the senior leadership of the FBI. At this point, Trump's suggestion that "his story may have changed" is unfounded speculation.

Full story

Trump mischaracterized the political leanings of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller's team. Four out of eight attorneys made public so far have contributed to Democrats, including Clinton and Obama. The other four have no record of political contributions. One attorney who donated the maximum amount represented the Clinton Foundation in a 2015 lawsuit. Another attorney without a record of political donations represented a Clinton aide at one point. Both attorneys worked for WilmerHale, a firm that also represents Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Moreover, under federal law, Mueller is not allowed to consider the political leanings of his staff when hiring them.

Trump is falsely labeling nonpartisan investigations as made up by Democrats. The CIA concluded in 2016 that Russia intervened in the U.S. presidential election to help elect Trump, an assessment backed up by FBI Director James B. Comey and then-Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. On Jan. 6, the intelligence community released a declassified report expressing "high confidence" in this judgement. Senate and House committees led by Republicans have begun their own investigations, and a special prosecutor has been appointed.

Full story

Trump keeps taking credit for projects that were long in the works before he became president. For example, he repeatedly claims credit for Ford’s decision to abandon its plans to open a factory in Mexico and instead expand its Michigan plant. But analysts say Ford’s decision has more to do with the company’s long-term goal — particularly, its plans to invest in electric vehicles — than the administration. It’s easier for companies to find highly skilled workers to build new products, such as electric cars, in the United States than in Mexico. Fiat Chrysler's plan to invest $1 billion for a factory in Michigan had been in the works for more than a year and had nothing to do with Trump.

Experts say this is an unworkable idea. With less than 2 percent of the U.S. population living within 40 miles of the Mexico border, the electricity generated by the wall would mostly be useless — unless costly transmission lines were built to take the electricity to other areas of the country. Moreover, this idea was proposed by some researchers before Trump started talking about it publicly.

Full story

Trump consistently, and incorrectly, links illegal immigration with crime. In this case, Trump is referring to crime in sanctuary cities. The limited research on sanctuary cities and crime either found no statistically significant impact of sanctuary policies on crime, or a reduction in crime due to immigrant-friendly policing strategies. Sanctuary jurisdictions release inmates after their criminal case is complete, and extensive research shows noncitizens are not more prone to criminality than U.S.-born citizens.

Jon Ossoff, the Democrat Trump is referring to, supports a comprehensive immigration bill that allows a "path to legal status" for undocumented people (excluding felons) living in the country. But he also said he supports strong border security. As PolitiFact found, this is not the same as "allowing illegal immigration." On taxes, factcheck.org found that Ossoff has proposed to simplify the tax code, and that “in order to lower tax rates, we can eliminate carve-outs and special treatment in the tax code that privilege large organizations at the expense of small businesses.” Trump is correct that Ossoff did not live in the congressional district.

“Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!”

The FBI's investigation into Russian influence on the election continues, so it is not yet a "vindication." Moreover, former FBI James B. Comey leaked one unclassified memo about his conversation with Trump, but Trump himself revealed these conversations existed in his letter firing Comey.

“My fellow Americans, we are the nation that built the Golden Gate Bridge in four years and the Hoover Dam in five. Now, it takes as much as a decade just to plan a major permit or a major infrastructure or anything even remotely major in our country, and that’s ridiculous and it’s going to change.”

Full story

Trump describes the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam as projects that were constructed over four or five years, unbound by the years of permitting and regulatory restrictions that current-day projects face. But Trump only focuses on the literal construction of the projects, and overlooks the many years of bureaucratic negotiating and regulating that took place leading up to the construction.

The number of private-sector jobs created since Trump became president is about 600,000, as of June 2017. Trump appears to be counting jobs created since he was elected, so he's adding in jobs created under Barack Obama.
