  1. This week, the “nonpartisan” Marshall Project published a fact-check of more than 12,000 Donald Trump statements on immigration.

  2. During the ABC News debate between Trump and Kamala Harris in September, moderators flagged Trump’s statements five times in real-time, while Harris faced no live fact-checks.

  3. In February, PolitiFact celebrated its 1,000th fact-check of Trump, which is more fact-checks than for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton combined.

  4. The Washington Post fact-checked more than 30,000 Trump statements over the course of his presidency (While the Post’s fact-checking team created a similar database for Biden, it discontinued the project after just 100 days).
