We're live fact-checking President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress at 9 p.m. EST. Follow along here: https://t.co/yZEa41vofj

[The New York Times @nytimes]

President Trump said in his address to Congress that he inherited an “economic catastrophe” from Joe Biden. The U.S. had the strongest economy in the world when Trump took over, but it's shown signs of strain from Trump's federal funding cuts and tariffs. https://t.co/4x9o0s5UB5

We did not find evidence of millions of people receiving Social Security benefits on behalf of people who would be 110 years old or older. The acting Social Security commissioner said that people older than 100 who do not have a date of death associated with their Social Security record “are not necessarily receiving benefits.”

Trump said the Federal Emergency Management Agency sent millions of dollars to house immigrants in luxury hotels. That’s inaccurate. A program created by Congress gave New York City money for services it provided to migrants. https://t.co/8AImJrxfln
