Former President Donald Trump abruptly ends his “Meet the Press” interview with moderator Kristen Welker in Wisconsin following a heated exchange about his claims that the 2020 election was “stolen.” Multiple outlets report that the discussion centers on Trump’s allegations of election fraud and his references to Jan. 6. During the exchange, Welker presses Trump for evidence supporting his assertions. According to reporting from both outlets, Welker challenges Trump’s statements by saying he does not provide supporting proof for the disputed claims. After the back-and-forth, Trump stops the interview and storms off. One account also says Trump reacts by attacking media outlets, describing them as “crooked” while ripping Welker and other networks, including ABC, CBS, and CNN. The reports describe the incident as sudden and closely tied to the moderator’s insistence on substantiating Trump’s election-fraud claims. The outlets do not indicate any subsequent continuation or follow-up recording from the same interview segment.
