Overview

• The special, Trump v The Truth, is set to begin at 10pm on Wednesday and run for several hours.
• Channel 4 says it will compile more than 100 statements attributed to President Trump, each accompanied by brief text-based fact-checks.
• Planned segments are expected to cover claims about Gaza funding, wartime aid to Ukraine, egg prices and immigration.
• The channel will extend the theme across the day with a Trump impersonator taking over continuity and a new episode of The Donald Trump Show.
• Channel 4’s Ian Katz frames the effort as a corrective to political untruths, and coverage touching on Jeffrey Epstein has been flagged by reporters as diplomatically and legally sensitive.
