Harvard refused to identify its international students to the government.

Harvard had supplied required student records while contesting broader demands.

The video shown in the Oval Office depicted burial sites for about 1,000 white South African farmers.

The footage showed a memorial demonstration with white crosses, not an actual burial site for the people named in the claim.

White South African farmers were being killed in a genocide.

The repeated genocide framing was not supported by experts, crime statistics or the South African government's record; farm murders were real but did not establish genocide.

The House bill did not change Medicaid and only cut waste, fraud and abuse.

The legislation included eligibility and financing changes projected to reduce enrollment and federal spending.

Biden's Medicare negotiations made five of ten selected drugs more expensive than before negotiation.

Five negotiated prices remained more than twice comparable-country averages, but the negotiations still reduced their U.S. prices.

A genocide was taking place against white farmers in South Africa.

Farm attacks and killings occur, but experts and available crime data did not establish a government-backed or group-destruction campaign meeting the genocide claim.

The South African government was confiscating white farmers' land.

South Africa's expropriation law allows takings only under defined public-interest conditions with legal process; reviewed evidence did not show government confiscation of white-owned farms.

The proposed transfer of Qatar's Boeing 747 was a very public and transparent transaction.

At the time of the claim, the legal arrangement, final recipient and transfer terms had not been publicly explained.

The United States had secured close to $10 trillion in new investment in roughly two months.

The White House tally was far lower and included broad commitments rather than verified completed investment; independent review found the near-$10 trillion figure unsupported.

Declining cargo traffic at U.S. ports meant the United States was losing less money.

Lower import volume can reduce customs receipts and signal trade disruption; economists did not support the claim that a port slowdown itself meant the country was financially better off.

The Digital Equity Act was an illegal race-based handout.

The law funded broadband access and digital-skills programs for covered populations including rural residents, veterans, older adults and people with disabilities; it was not limited to race and had not been ruled illegal.
