Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar amount ($1.5 billion) and project count (672) over a defined time period — verifiable against federal appropriations records.
What we foundThe $1.5 billion figure is broadly consistent with independently reported and official data, but it is a rounded figure (actual total: ~$1.484 billion), and the project count varies slightly across sources (670 in earlier accounts vs. 672 at debate time), preventing full independent verification of the exact figures.
