Since former U.S. President Donald Trump announced his reelection bid in November 2022, we've covered the Republican nominee's hush-money trial, where he became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony, the two assassination attempts against him, and a number of claims made about him during the campaign.

Many of the claims about Trump involved another person, like whether Elon Musk could donate $45 million per month to his campaign for 462 years (mostly true) or whether Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus said they would leave the U.S. if he won the 2024 election (false). Some claims have been made by the Democratic nominee, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. 

Keep an eye on this collection. We'll keep it updated whenever we publish a new article about the former president.
