Claim 2: “the Trump administration wants to eliminate a critical part of 401(K) regulations and protections”
MISLEADING
The claim states the administration wants to 'eliminate' protections, but the evidence shows an executive order issued on August 7, 2025, intended to 'provide 401(k) plan participants with greater access to invest in alternative assets.' This is an expansion of investment options rather than a simple elimination of protections, making the claim's framing deceptive.
