• 2025/01/30 21:03 UTC [L..T] Trump Acknowledges He Doesn't Have Evidence DEI Caused D.C. Plane Crash When pressed on the issue of whether there's any evidence for a connection between the crash and DEI, Trump throws out more attacks, distractions, and lies (but no evidence).
• 2025/01/30 [L..T] Trump baselessly criticizes DEI in D.C. plane crash; 67 feared dead «President Donald Trump suggested without evidence that the crash may be linked to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies at the Federal Aviation Administration.
