President Donald Trump on Tuesday offered a new account of his presence near Ground Zero following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying two firefighters lifted him from rubble because of concerns that a nearby building might collapse. In a television interview conducted that day, however, he said he had watched the towers fall from another building and did not recount any story of firefighters. The recent account drew criticism from Trump’s opponents, who questioned its accuracy. No publicly available evidence has confirmed that Trump helped clear rubble at Ground Zero or was carried by firefighters, and previous reporting has challenged his descriptions of participating in the recovery effort. Trump did not say precisely when the incident occurred. In his social media post, he wrote that he was there “not on the same day as the collapse, but shortly thereafter.” #trump #september11memorial #news
