CLAIM
Black mayors and leaders decry Trump’s threats to deploy National Guard in cities
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
NBC News released a one-sided article disparaging President Trump’s enhanced law enforcement operations in Washington, D.C.
THE TRUTH
The “immigration advocates” cited in the article are far-left partisan sources who claimed that President Trump’s law enforcement efforts were a “federal coup.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Al Sharpton, Marc Morial, and Derrick Johnson were among the partisans quoted in the article. Bunn’s writing included only two republican voices of dissent, one of which was buried in the bottom of the article.
KEY POINTS
• NBC News’ Curtis Bunn published a one-sided article that overrepresented biased left-wing voices in an effort to undermine President Trump’s law enforcement operations in the nation’s capital.
SOURCES
• Black mayors and leaders decry Trump’s threats to deploy National Guard in cities
• Brandon Johnson Biography
• Al Sharpton Speaks at 2024 DNC
• Marc Morial's Biography
• Derrick Johnson's Biography

CLAIM
Trump Administration Draft Order Calls for Drastic Overhaul of State Department
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
New York Times reporter Edward Wong sent a request for comment at 2:28am on Easter Sunday and published his story regarding an unreliably sourced draft executive order (without receiving comment) roughly an hour later at 3:30am.
THE TRUTH
The draft executive order had, in NYT’s own words, “…no indications that Mr. Rubio or his top aides have signed off on the document.” In the same article Edward Wong also wrote, “It was not immediately clear who had compiled the document or what stage of internal debates over a restructuring of the State Department it reflected.” Despite being unable to confirm the origin of the alleged draft executive order, or even its legitimacy as an official State Department document, the New York Times published the article without comment from the White House Press Office.
KEY POINTS
• The New York Times posted an unsubstantiated and irresponsibly sourced draft executive order without confirming its legitimacy, or giving the White House proper time to respond to the inquiry.

CLAIM
Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
CNN’s Natasha Bertrand – the same “journalist” who reported the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation and the COVID lab leak was a conspiracy theory – published an inaccurate preliminary threat assessment downplaying the damage from U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

KEY POINTS
• ake news journalist Natasha Bertrand published a confidential and inaccurate assessment of Operation Midnight Hammer.
SOURCES
• Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say
• Special counsel plans to use infamous Hunter Biden laptop as evidence at gun trial
• Top US intel agency rules out ‘manmade’ theory of coronavirus origins
• Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News
