Trump's Account of Being Carried to Safety Near WTC on 9/11 Disputed
The president's story has evolved over the years, according to a France 24 fact-check ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
As the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, France 24 fact-checked President Trump's claim that two firefighters carried him to safety near the US Steel Building shortly after the attacks.
The report said Trump has since acknowledged he was not at the World Trade Center on the day of the collapse, and noted his account and described role at Ground Zero have changed multiple times over the years.
