Former President Donald Trump delivered his usual assortment of long-debunked false claims in an appearance on Fox News in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night. But one of the false claims was new. Trump, who has repeatedly insulted the intelligence of his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, claimed that Harris used speaking notes to assist her in her interview with CNN anchor Dana Bash last week. Trump said: “If you watch that that interview, she had notes. That means she knew the questions. And she had notes. She kept looking down – ‘uhhh.’ Nobody wants to cover it.” He continued, “I know all about notes. I mean, you know, it’s all right if people know that. But she wasn’t supposed to have notes.” Facts First: Trump’s claims are false. Harris did not use notes during the CNN interview. Photos and videos of the interview make clear that the only notes on the table belonged to Bash, as CNN staffers who were present confirm. And CNN did not inform Harris of any questions in advance; a CNN spokesperson called Trump’s claim that Harris had prior knowledge of the questions “categorically false.” Here are some of the other false claims Trump made at the Fox News event on Wednesday.
