0.109 - 28.349 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is now claiming that he did not sign the invocation of war powers under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Despite the fact that Donald Trump's name is on the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, you see right there it says, by the President of the United States of America on March 15th, 2025.

It's in the Federal Register, dated Thursday, March 20th, 2025 under presidential documents. Trump is claiming he didn't sign it. He said other people handled it and he didn't know how it was signed. Here's what Donald Trump said moments ago outside of the White House to reporters. This was truly a stunning moment. Here, play this clip.

It doesn't sound like this judge who the DOJ is arguing with today about the deportation flights. He wants to know why the proclamation was signed in the dark, his words, and why people were rushed on to planes.

Now, we come with receipts here at the Midas Touch Network. Donald Trump's chief propagandist, who claims she's a press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, held a press conference in the White House shortly after Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act. And she says President Trump signed the proclamation. Play this clip.

100.302 - 122.29 Caroline Leavitt

President Trump signed a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act regarding the invasion of the United States by the foreign terrorist organization, Tren de Aragua. At the president's direction, the Department of Homeland Security carried out a counterterrorism operation, deporting nearly 200 violent Tren de Aragua terrorists, which will save countless Americans.

Here's Caroline Levitt. Shortly after that, she goes on state regime media known as Fox News. with Maria Bartiromo. And she says Donald Trump signed this proclamation. And then she goes on to say, and as a result, she says like over 200 or 300 Venezuelan gang members. And she says our terrorists, the most dangerous, violent people, she said, have been sent to El Salvador. I want to play this.

148.529 - 150.33 Ben Meiselas

Then I want to fact check it. Let's play it.

150.35 - 167.233 Caroline Leavitt

Good morning, Maria. The president signed a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act against Tren de Aragua members who have invaded our country. These are the most violent, heinous criminal monsters you could ever imagine. They have taken the lives of innocent American women like Jocelyn Nongre and Lakin Riley.
