Fact Check: Trump's State Of The Union Address

Tuesday, February 5, 2019 | Sacramento, CA

President Donald Trump delivered his second State of the Union address Tuesday. You can rewatch his remarks live above.

The stakes were high for Trump as he remained at a logjam with Congress over immigration in the shadow of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

It was the first time Trump addressed Congress with Democrats controlling the House, and the White House said in the days leading up to the important annual address that the president would make a bipartisan pitch, outlining a "policy agenda both parties can rally behind."

You can follow along as NPR reporters fact checked and added context to his remarks with an annotated transcript below.
