MBFC’s Daily Vetted Fact Checks for 03/06/2025

Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers who are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Claim Codes: Red = Fact Check on a Right Claim, Blue = Fact Check on a Left Claim, Black = Not Political/Conspiracy/Pseudoscience/Other

Fact Checker bias rating Codes: Red = Right-Leaning, Green = Least Biased, Blue = Left-Leaning, Black = Unrated by MBFC

BLATANT
LIE
Claim by President Donald Trump (R): “We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.”

PolitiFact rating: False (As of March 4, the DOGE website showed $105 billion in savings. But its “wall of receipts,” where it claims to track savings generated from DOGE’s cuts, showed less than $20 billion. That “wall of receipts” has been riddled with errors.)

Lead Stories rating: False (Splitting assets and dividing property under U.S. divorce law is regulated on a state-by-state basis and not at the federal level.)
