Trump addressed the moment Muir fact-checked while giving remarks to the press on Friday by claiming the anchor is a foolish, fool! In breaking news yesterday, the premier statistical agency at the Justice Department. You remember where? David Muir. Tried to correct me when I said that crime is rampant like never before. He said, no. He said, crime is going down. I said, where are you coming from? And you know, you wouldn't have to need a Bureau of Justice Statistics to know that crime is worse than it's ever been.
The former president claimed America was besieged by violent migrant crime to which Muir replied during the debate, As you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country. According to NBC News, data released by the FBI back in June showed that the rate of violent and property crimes had dropped considerably compared to the same period last year. A news anchor citing FBI statistics on crime is nothing out of the ordinary and is widely seen as a notable standard for understanding national crime trends.
