Last week, the Justice Department said the fund, part of a deal to resolve Trump\u2019s lawsuit against the IRS, would not be moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAs I understand it, the weaponization fund was going to set up a group of people, people that could be picked by anybody, fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis,\u201d Trump said. \u201cNow I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen with the weaponization fund. I love the idea because people like you \u2014 the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he\u2019s not smart enough to know what\u2019s going on \u2014 but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful resolute desk in the Oval Office, what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker responded by saying there has not been any evidence presented to support Trump\u2019s claims, and then tried to ask a question about acting attorney general Todd Blanche, who\u2019d made the announcement that the anti-weaponization fund would not be moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cListen to me: There\u2019s tremendous evidence,\u201d Trump interjected. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election, and it\u2019s happening again right now in California. It\u2019s happening right now in California, right now. Look at what\u2019s happening in California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker pressed Trump on his claims, noting repeatedly that the president had no evidence backing them up. Trump then brought up the fact that it\u2019d been several days since the California election, with many races still undecided.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe Republicans are doing well in California,\u201d Welker responded.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cNo they\u2019re not. They\u2019re dropping fast because it\u2019s a rigged election,\u201d Trump replied. \u201cLet me tell you, it\u2019s four days and they aren\u2019t even close.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker pointed out that California election results are often delayed to due the state\u2019s policy of allowing ballots to be mailed in up until election day.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cYou know why they\u2019re doing that? Because they\u2019re cheating on the election,\u201d Trump responded. When asked if he has evidence, he replied: \u201cAll I have to do is look. All I have to do is look and I listen, and I listen to people and let\u2019s see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1343\">Box Office: \u2018Scary Movie\u2019 Stuns With $55M, \u2018Masters of the Universe\u2019 Lands at $29.3M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump and Welker kept going back and forth, with Trump asking her if she believes that California\u2019s method for counting votes is \u201cappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cDo you think it\u2019s appropriate that they have an election and give days later they\u2019re nowhere close to picking a winner?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhen Welker said that state and local officials have acknowledged how slow the process is, Trump replied: \u201cNo, they\u2019re crooked. They\u2019re crooked, just like you\u2019re crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker replied: \u201cTo be fair, I\u2019m not crooked, but let\u2019s \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cReally? Well, you play right into their hands then. You\u2019re either crooked or you\u2019re stupid,\u201d he shot back. \u201cYou play right into their hands with this crap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they\u2019re rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94 percent bad press. You know why? Because you have no credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker and Trump then went back and forth with her asking for evidence and him repeating his claims that there is, in fact, evidence. He also likened the United States to a \u201cthird-world country\u201d in terms of its elections.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cYour elections are crooked and you\u2019re crooked and<em> Meet the Press <\/em>is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re one-sided crooked networks. Let\u2019s call it quits because I\u2019ve had enough. Thank you, darling,\u201d he added, taking off his microphone.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWelker then pleaded with Trump to say, noting that she\u2019d traveled all the way to Wisconsin to do the interview with him. He replied that he\u2019d done the interview in the rain, which could be heard in the background of the conversation, and said: \u201cI\u2019ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what, a country can never be great with a dishonest press.\u201d He then walked out.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1341\">Iran Court Upholds Prison Sentence, Travel Ban for Jafar Panahi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tWatch the exchange below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump walked out of an interview with Meet the Press after being grilled on claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1188,1189,125,116,126],"class_list":["post-1345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-meet-the-press","tag-nbc-news","tag-politics","tag-president-donald-trump","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
