The news conference President Trump held Friday to announce he was declaring a national emergency at the southern border was "chock full if false and misleading claims," Glenn Kessler and Meg Kelly report for The Washington Post's "Fact Checker" column.
Kessler and Kelly summarize "14 of the most noteworthy claims," including those involving national emergencies, the cost of illegal immigration, how most illegal drugs get into the country, the status of border-barrier construction, and the president's notion that the revised trade agreement with Mexico will pay for his wall, a claim that the fact-checkers give four Pinocchios, meaning clearly false.
Kessler has told The Rural Blog that his Fact Checker columns may be republished without charge, as long as credit is given to the Post.
