Trump walks out of interview with NBC’s Meet the Press after clash over election claims
Donald Trump walked out of an interview with NBC's Meet the Press after a clash over his election claims. The interview, which aired on Sunday, featured a tense exchange between Trump and NBC's Kristen Welker, who questioned Trump's allegations that the 2020 US presidential election was rigged. Trump's abrupt exit came after he repeatedly made false claims and accused Welker and the network of being crooked.
