AI Summary:
Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed crowds with a rented Ford F-150 pick-up truck. The 42-year-old suspected driver was a United States citizen and US Army veteran. But within hours of the attack, President-elect Donald Trump speculated that he entered the US illegally. Fox News reported that the pick-up truck Jabbar rented came into the US at the Eagle Pass, Texas, border crossing. At 10:40am ET (15:40 GMT) on January 1, a Fox News reporter said federal sources had licence plate data placing the suspect and the truck at the southern border days before the attack. The suspect drove a truck with the Texas licence plate right through Bourbon Street. Fox News corrected the timeline on air, saying that the truck crossed the border in mid-November and confirmed that it wasn’t driven by Jabbar. PoliticiFact did not find instances of Fox News on-air personalities repeating the original erroneous report.
