Donald Trump's fuel efficiency plan would reduce the cost of cars “by more than $3000” and make them “substantially safer.”

The answers and sources show that the price reduction is less that $3000 and would not change the safety of the car so the claim is refuted.

Andrew Jackson said “One man with courage makes a majority.”

Theres clear evidence in the answers to the questions that this wasnt a statement made by Andrew Jackson, theres also proof provided that it was actually a title of a book made by James Parton about Andrew Jackson, but not intended to be Jacksons words.

"Written Evidence"
] |
The "boyfriend loophole" means that "if you commit a serious crime of domestic abuse against your wife, you can't get a gun, but if you do it against your girlfriend, you can.
|
Evidence finds that federal law defines domestic violence as the use or attempted use of physical force or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim; by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse, parent, or guardian; or by a person similarly situated to a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim. There is no mention of a more casual relationship in federal law. However, states have closed the gaps in federal law pertaining to people who commit misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence by enacting laws that prohibit domestic violence misdemeanors not covered by federal law from buying or possessing guns and/or ammunition. But, multiple states have no such law.

Instead of listing design features to designate the banned weapons, the question describes assault weapons as “semiautomatic rifles and shotguns capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition at once, either in a fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition-feeding device.” This definition expands on several existing state laws by including weapons that can accept large-capacity detachable magazines, which are typically what make assault weapons so lethal.\n\nBAWN’s assault-weapons ban, which exempts military or law-enforcement members, would make possession of the defined weapons a third-degree felony. It would also give Floridians who already own these weapons a year to register them before their possession becomes illegal.",

Nearby businesses were placed on lockdown and shoppers were evacuated.\n\nThe store is near a retail park, the Cielo Vista Mall, which is popular with El Paso residents as well as shoppers from just across the Mexican border.\n\nIn addition to the 22 fatalities, 24 people were injured in the shooting. Eight Mexican nationals were among the dead and the victims' ages range from 15 to 90.\n\nOfficers arrived on the scene within six minutes and the attacker surrendered after he was confronted by police outside the store.",

Nine people were killed and 27 were injured.\n\nJust seconds later, the gunman is seen running towards the venue and being hit by police gunfire as he reaches the door. Police have confirmed they killed the gunman at the scene within 30 seconds of him opening fire.\n\nHad the gunman made it through the door, Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said, the loss of life would have been \"catastrophic\".\n\nThe suspect, 24-year-old Connor Betts, used a .223-calibre assault rifle with high-capacity magazines that he had ordered legally from Texas.

Geckos carry pathogenic bacteria in their mouths which are very toxic to humans.
|
Evidence finds conflicting evidence, where one side showcases that wild-caught geckos may have different types of bacteria in their oral cavities than captive-hatched ones. The bacteria can be potentially dangerous bacteria, protozoa, or, rarely, a pathogenic fungus that can be transmitted to a human via a bite that punctures the skin. There was also a Salmonella outbreak in 16 states that was linked to pet geckos. On the other hand, it is said that geckos are non-toxic, do not bite, and are not known to transmit any kind of infection or disease to humans.

President Trump fully co-operated with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S presidential campaign.
|
Mueller said “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
Clearly this is not "full cooperation".

"answer": "The report is a summation of the findings from the special counsel investigation. It is expected to contain the details of the investigation, from its interviews with key witnesses and other evidence amassed throughout the process and the Mueller team’s conclusions – or lack thereof.\n\nIn a letter to lawmakers, Attorney General William Barr said the report “sets forth the Special Counsel’s findings, analysis and the reasons for his conclusions.” \n\nMueller was appointed in May 2017 shortly after Trump fired Comey. Mueller was authorized to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, whether any Trump associates coordinated or colluded with the Russians, whether Trump obstructed the investigation and any other crimes that were uncovered during the investigation.",

"answer": "Trump consistently denied that he or anyone on his team colluded with Russia to interfere in the election, and he has rejected further the intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia attempted to interfere in the election at all, including while standing next to Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly after Mueller’s appointment. He likewise denied the possibility he had obstructed justice.\n\nThroughout the process, Trump railed against Mueller and Mueller’s team, accusing them of political bias and maligning both the intelligence community and Justice Department more broadly.",

"answer": "Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations,” Mueller wrote. “The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General’s recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony.",
