Trump was right
DOJ data shows 40% increase in crime during Biden's presidency that contradicts 'fact-check' by ABC presidential debate moderator David Muir.Former President Donald Trump's claim that crime has been increasing was incorrectly fact-checked by ABC's David Muir during the debate Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported. Department of Justice data proves Trump was correct that crime is up by more than 40%, as ABC proves its bias.
During the presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump said that crime is increasing in the U.S. due to illegal immigration under her watch. "Crime is down all over the world except here. Crime here is up and through the roof," Trump said.
"Despite their fraudulent statements that they made, crime in this country is through the roof. We have a new form of crime. It’s called migrant crime, and it’s happening at levels that nobody thought possible," he added.
Muir jumped in to refute Trump's statement by asserting that "the FBI says overall, violent crime is actually coming down in this country." In reality, the Justice Department's numbers show a massive increase in crime since Trump left office.

In the news all the time! Daw
Just as I thought! It's always a good idea to check Gateway Pundit before believing anything the DOJ puts out. Gateway Pundit is the most unbiased and middle of the road source out there. Always trust the GP and not our US Government!
@5:56...The Gateway Pundit just reported on the government's stats. Why not read the link? Sarcasm is more fun, right?
Daily news tells it all!
Trump said, "There’s been a 43% increase in violent crimes since I left office."
The National Crime Victimization Survey, which the Justice Department conducts annually, shows a 43% increase between the 2020 survey and the 2022 survey, the most recent available.
By focusing only on this data point, however, Trump has cherry-picked the one finding that shows crime rising under the current administration.
The other federal data set covering roughly the same period — the FBI’s annual report — found that crime went down, not up. And the crime victimization study’s time frame ends at the close of 2022; every federal and nongovernmental analysis completed since shows crime falling in 2023 and 2024.
