Fact check: Trump’s story about being carried away by firefighters after the 9/11 attack

At a White House event honoring 9/11 first responders, Trump again recounted an unverified story about being carried away by firefighters after the attacks—he's told varying versions before but hasn’t provided evidence.
Reporting notes he was miles from Ground Zero at Trump Tower on 9/11 and there's no public proof he was inside or evacuated from One Liberty Plaza as he suggested.
The White House declined to produce documentation and shifted to criticizing the media; previous claims that Trump sent crews to help at Ground Zero also lack independent verification.
