Trump fact-checked LIVE in real time

NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander immediately fact checks President Trump’s claim that DEI initiatives at the FAA began under President Biden.

An NBC News review of the FAA’s archived website from February of 2013 to the end of President Trump’s first term features a policy of diversity and inclusion in their hiring process.

After the exchange, the White House responded: “President Trump has long stood for the highest standards in air traffic control. In 2018, the Trump administration announced it would do away with an Obama-era test that punished skilled applicants.”



The FAA policy from 2013 remained unchanged through President Trump’s first term.
