Trump Repeats Inaccurate Claims in Inaugural Remarks

President Trump began his second administration much as he left the first one, falsely questioning the outcome of the 2020 election and berating the criminal justice system in remarks throughout the day.In his inaugural remarks, Mr.Trump delivered a more tempered version of election talking points, including inaccurate claims about the state of the economy, immigration, world affairs, and federal and local investigations into his own conduct.But in addressing supporters afterward at the Capitol Rotunda, he reprised his grievances about the 2020 election, falsely blaming Nancy Pelosi for security lapses and asserting, incorrectly, that the election had been rigged.Here’s a fact-check:What Was SaidThis needs context.
