Donald Trump Walks Out of NBC Interview Amid Disputes Over 2020 Election and January 6th

Washington D.C. U.S. President Donald Trump walked out in anger during an interview with American television NBC News' 'Meet the Press'. He left the interview midway after heated disputes over questions related to the 2020 presidential election and the January 6th riot.

The interview was with journalist Kristen Welker, in which Trump reiterated baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election. When Welker asked questions about the California governor's election process and vote counting, Trump denied it and expressed anger at the journalist.

The situation became more tense after Trump accused NBC and the program of being corrupt. He even commented to the journalist, 'You are either corrupt or stupid.'

When Welker asked for proof, Trump reiterated his claim of election fraud without presenting any concrete evidence. Later, Trump took off the microphone, saying 'I've had enough,' and left the interview midway.

After that, Welker reminded Trump that she had come to Wisconsin for the interview. In response, Trump said, 'I've been sitting with you in the rain for an hour, it's been raining on and off. I've given you enough time. You need to get your press straight,' and left.

During the interview, Trump also made controversial remarks about individuals convicted in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol building attack. He made baseless claims that federal investigative agencies (FBI) encouraged those individuals to enter the building. He also stated that they pleaded guilty out of fear of harsh punishment.

When asked about the possibility of compensating those individuals under the 'anti-weaponization fund' proposed by Trump himself, he refused to give a clear answer. The interview was conducted in Wisconsin and broadcast on Sunday. NBC News has not yet responded to Trump's sudden departure from the interview.
