President Donald Trump's voice sounded 'cooked' and he visibly struggled with the teleprompter during a live White House address in Washington on Thursday 16 July, just hours after his usual teleprompter operator was placed on administrative leave over allegations he used insider knowledge to bet more than $100,000 (£74,236.60) on Trump's speeches.
The prime-time address was billed as a major intervention on the 2020 election and the SAVE America Act, with the 80-year-old president using the White House podium to tout his administration's record and promise the declassification of documents about the 2020 vote and alleged Chinese influence.
