Former President Donald Trump held his first press conference since Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, making numerous false and misleading claims. Fact-checkers from CNN, the Washington Post, and other outlets debunked various statements, including his comparisons of crowd sizes with Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech and false claims about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. Trump's assertions about the U.S. economy heading towards a depression and misleading statements about immigration were also scrutinized. Additionally, Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., and GOP vice-presidential nominee JD Vance faced criticism for spreading misinformation about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Media outlets are increasingly focused on fact-checking and correcting these inaccuracies in real-time.
