President Trump falsely claims U.S. murder rate is at ‘45 to 47’-year high — but the facts prove he’s wrong

President Trump continued his war on facts Tuesday, inaccurately claiming that the nation's murder rate was the highest it's been in nearly 50 years.
Trump was holding a listening session with county sheriffs from across the U.S. at the White House Tuesday morning when he made the untrue statement.
Trump said that the U.S. murder rate was the highest it had been "in 45 to 47 years" — a claim he had also made on the campaign trail numerous times.
"I'd say that in a speech and everybody was surprised because the press doesn't like to tell it like it is," Trump said during the meeting with sheriffs. "It wasn't to their advantage to say that. The murder rate is the highest it's been in 45 to 47 years."
