Fact-checking Trump's Rose Garden comments from today.

CLAIM: “I think most of you would agree, I'm the most transparent president probably in the history of this country.”

FACTS: No tax returns, no Mueller sit-down, objecting to McGahn's House testimony

CLAIM: “The whole thing with Russia was a hoax as it relates to the Trump administration and myself.”

FACTS: Mueller's probe didn't establish conspiracy/coordination, but it *did* establish Russia interfered to help Trump -- and Trump camp welcomed the help

CLAIM: “This is what happened: No collusion, no obstruction, no nothing.”

FACTS: Mueller's report never exonerated Trump on obstruction of justice. “Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

CLAIM: “We had an election [last night] for Fred Keller, a 50/50 shot and he won in a landslide."

FACTS: Previous GOP congressman won 66% of the vote in this PA-12 district in 2018

CLAIM: "The crime [regarding the Russia investigation] was committed on the other side.”

FACTS: Guilty pleas and convictions for Manafort, Flynn, Gates, Cohen, Papadopoulos)

CLAIM: “If someday a Democrat becomes president and you have a Republican House, they can impeach him for any reason, or her, any reason. We can't allow that to happen."

FACTS: It last happened in 1998, with Bill Clinton.
