Summary
President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with 'Meet the Press' host Kristen Welker after a heated exchange over election fraud claims and his proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund. The confrontation escalated when Welker pressed Trump on whether he would continue pushing the fund despite bipartisan opposition, and whether it would protect individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol attack.
