00:02President Trump walked out of a taped NBC Meet the Press interview after host Kristen Welker,
00:08according to CNBC. Welker pressed him for evidence on the $1.776 billion weaponization
00:15fund and his claims of election fraud. The fund, established through a settlement ending Trump's
00:21$10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax records, was designed to compensate people
00:26who claimed they were victims of lawfare, including January 6th rioters. The fund has
00:31been blocked in court and opposed by many Republicans. Trump reiterated support for it
00:36before pivoting to unsubstantiated claims about rigged California elections. He ended the interview
00:41by crushing his lapel mic underfoot and telling Welker, let's call it quits because I've had
00:46enough. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
