Former US President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker on Sunday. The conversation took a tense turn when Welker challenged Trump’s claims about election fraud and a proposed DOJ fund.

According to reports, Trump had been questioned by Welker about his allegations of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump had also made claims about a proposed Department of Justice (DOJ) fund, which he claimed would be used for “election integrity” purposes.

Welker pressed Trump on these claims, asking him to provide evidence to support them. However, Trump became agitated and eventually stormed out of the interview, leaving Welker and other journalists present.

The incident has sparked renewed debate about Trump’s claims and their validity. Fact-checking organizations have also weighed in, disputing many of Trump’s allegations as unsubstantiated or false.

Trump’s decision to end the interview abruptly has been met with criticism from some quarters, who argue that he is attempting to avoid scrutiny of his claims. Others have praised Welker for holding Trump accountable and pushing him on his claims.

The incident highlights the ongoing tension between Trump and the media, which has been a hallmark of his presidency.
