Trump walks out of interview after questions on election fraud claims

US President Donald Trump has angrily stormed out of an interview with American broadcaster NBC after he was questioned about his unfounded claims of election fraud. "You're a one-sided, crooked network," Trump told Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. "Sorry. Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time," he said before standing up and walking out of the interview that aired on Sunday, local time. Welker said: "There is no evidence for what you're saying." Trump reiterated past false claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" and said last week's primary in California was, too. Welker held her ground, asking the president to present evidence."You are either crooked or you're stupid," Mr Trump finally shot back before leaving the camera's view while Welker attempted to keep him engaged.

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."

He was asked several questions about Iran, nuclear weapons and his campaign pledges to keep the United States out of foreign wars. "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?" Mr Trump said, before accusing Welker of being "a big liberal, a big progressive". "No, I'm just a journalist," she countered.
