AP FACT CHECK: Trump falsely blames Biden for veteran deaths

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump falsely blames Democratic rival Joe Biden for the deaths of 308,000 veterans who he said couldn't get health care because of the Obama administration's policies.

THE FACTS: Trump's claim of 308,000 deaths of veterans while they were seeking VA care under Biden’s watch is unsupported. The audit found that over 300,000 veterans with pending applications for VA health care were likely deceased, but it made clear that “data limitations” prevented investigators from determining how many now-deceased veterans applied for health care benefits or when. The applications go back nearly two decades, and officials said numerous applicants actually died before the start of the Obama administration in 2009 — not when Biden was vice president.
