President Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2020 election. He also threatened to take legal action against votes that have yet to be counted. Many states are continuing to process legitimate mail-in ballots.

‘we did win this election,’ Trump said. He also suggested he would take legal action to keep further ballots from being counted.

Trump stopped short of declaring a win, instead focusing on individual states where he’s done well. But even there, he appears to have lied about some of the details – prompting NBC news to cut him off and fact-check him in real time.

Savannah Guthrie:’we’ve got to dip in here because there’ve been several statements that are just frankly not true’.

At one point earlier in the speech, Trump said he wanted to curtail voting. He said he’d go to the Supreme Court, though it was unclear what for for him.

Trump falsely declared a win in the presidential race. He called it a’fraud on the American public’ and’an embarrassment to our country’.

Cnn did n’t fact check Trump during his speech but it did n’t point out that states have n’t certified results yet. Facebook put a generic warning about vote counts at the top of Facebook and Instagram feeds.
