President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker and walked out after he was challenged on his false claims about the 2020 election and his efforts to reward political allies, including rioters who sought to force Congress to overturn the election.
In an interview that aired Sunday on Meet the Press, the president said that he would be “disappointed” if Congress failed to pass nearly $1.8 billion in funding for an “anti-weaponization fund” meant to reward those targeted for prosecution by the Justice Department under former President Joe Biden.
