President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a televised address from the White House on Thursday evening. The president previously stated on Tuesday that the speech would include a "big announcement," and he suggested the remarks may cover several topics, including election integrity.
PolitiFact, an independent fact-checking organization and partner of PBS News, announced it will provide real-time analysis and verification of the president's claims throughout the broadcast. The event follows a Tuesday statement from the president regarding the primary focus of the address.
The scheduled address comes as other administration-related news developed on Thursday, including reports that a White House teleprompter operator was placed on unpaid leave. That personnel action followed allegations that the individual used the Kalshi betting platform to wager on the content of the president's speeches.
