Donald Trump abruptly ends NBC interview over 'rigged election' claims

Former US President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's "Meet The Press" after clashing with presenter Kristen Welker over his claims that the California primary and 2020 presidential elections were "rigged."

Former US President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's "Meet The Press" after a contentious exchange with presenter Kristen Welker. The segment, which aired on Sunday, saw Trump repeatedly claim that both the ongoing primary elections in California and the 2020 presidential election were "rigged." Welker challenged these assertions, particularly pressing the former president for evidence to support his allegations regarding California's voting process. The interview concluded shortly after these confrontations, following Trump's refusal to elaborate further on his claims. This incident marks another instance of Trump clashing with media over election integrity questions.
