A recent FBI revision on violent crime rates in the U.S. appears to support former President Donald Trump's statements made during last month's presidential debate, contradicting initial claims by ABC News moderators.
A fact-check in the ABC News presidential debate has aged poorly after the FBI quietly made a stunning correction about violent crime rates in the U.S. In last month's political showdown between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris , Trump cited the rise of violent crime to hammer the Biden- Harris administration's record. 'Crime here is up and through the roof despite their fraudulent statements that they made,' Trump said.
Muir has yet to acknowledge the FBI's stat change on 'World News Tonight,' according to Grabien transcripts. ABC News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. ABC News sparked intense fury as its debate moderators repeatedly fact-checked Trump while letting all of Harris' claims go unchallenged. Even the liberal writers of NBC's 'Saturday Night Live' took a swipe at its broadcast rival for its 'biased' debate.
