AMNA NAWAZ: Laura, we’ve talked before -- a lot of news organizations have reported on the challenges of interviewing President-Elect Trump because of the frequency and the volume of many of the lies he puts forward. It was well-documented during the campaign season as well. How did NBC handle it in this interview?

LAURA LOPEZ-BARRON: So, NBC initially put out an edited interview that added some context, they also released a transcript, and then they ultimately released the entire, full, unedited interview. But during the interview itself, Amna, there was very little to no fact-checking, very little to no pushback in real-time as Donald Trump was repeating falsehoods that he made during the campaign trail as well as outright lies.
