Former President Donald Trump left an NBC 'Meet the Press' interview after being challenged on his claims of election fraud and the controversial 'weaponization' fund. The fund, which could compensate individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, has faced legal opposition and was recently blocked in court. Trump expressed strong support for the fund, stating, 'If it was up to me, I'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve,' despite setbacks. He reiterated his unproven allegations of a 'rigged' election, particularly in California, where he claimed mail-in voting processes are corrupt. When pressed for evidence, Trump failed to provide any and instead accused the media of bias. The interview ended abruptly when Trump declared he had 'had enough' and walked off, crushing his microphone in the process.
