President Donald Trump tore off his microphone and cut short a combative television interview after being pressed over his repeated claims that US elections were 'rigged'. The confrontation, broadcast on NBC's Meet the Press, exposed once again how quickly scrutiny over the 2020 election still provokes fury from the president.
The exchange with veteran presenter Kristen Welker unravelled during a wide-ranging interview filmed in Wisconsin on Friday and aired Sunday. The discussion started with the election administration in California but deteriorated into accusations, personal insults and another airing of Trump's disproven claims surrounding the 2020 presidential race.
