11:28 p.m.Donald Trump claims that NATO countriesalong with Japan and South Koreadont pay enough to the United States for the defense our country provides them.

TRUMP STATEMENT: We defend Japan. We defend Germany. We defend South Korea. We defend Saudi Arabia. We defend countries. They do not pay us what they should be paying us because we are providing a tremendous service. And were losing a fortune. Thats why were losing. We lose on everything. All I said is that it is very possible that if they dont pay us, because this isnt 40 years ago they may have to defend themselves or they have to help us out.

FACT CHECK: According to the Wall Street Journal, South Korea paid about $866.6 million in 2014 to the U.S. for the American military presence in the country (which is meant to deter North Korea). Thats about 40 percent of the total cost.

For Japan this year, the country actually covers 90 percent of the cost of Japanese nationals employed by U.S. military bases, including most of the utility costs, rent, and noise abatement. Altogether, the Japanese pay $4 billion of U.S. base-related expenses.

On the whole, Trumps comment about the U.S. shouldering an undue burden under NATO in defense expenditures is not entirely off base. U.S. expenditures as a share of GDP is 3.61 percent, whereas the next closest contributor is Greeces share (2.38 percent of Greeces GDP). Most of the partner nations pay quite a bit less than the suggested two percent of GDP that NATO puts in its guidelines.

11:19 p.m.Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads against him and that he is now winning or tied in the polls after spending practically nothing.

TRUMP STATEMENT: She spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads on me, many of which are absolutely untrue, theyre untrue and theyre misrepresentations and I will tell you this, Lester, its not nice and I dont deserve that. But its certainly not a nice thing that shes done. Its hundreds of millions of ads and the only gratifying thing is, I saw the the polls come in today and with all of that money over $200 million spent and Im either winning or tied and Ive spent practically nothing.

FACT CHECK: This is partially false. Clinton has not yet spent hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising she has spent just about $100 million overall. Clinton spent $109.4 million on ads through Sept. 13, according to Bloomberg, compared to Trumps $18.7 million. A Politico article from Aug. 23 cited data from Advertising Analytics as saying that 55 percent of Clintons ads were attacks on Trump and 45 percent were positive spots.

However, he is correct in saying that he has spent practically nothing on ads compared to Clinton (so far although his campaign said hes preparing a $140 million investment) and he is tied in many polls (though not winning in most).

10:55 p.m. Hillary Clinton claims Donald Trump would not rent apartments to African-Americans.

CLINTON STATEMENT:Donald Trump started his career back in 1973 being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African-Americans, and he made sure that the people who worked for him understood the policy. He was actually sued twice by the Justice Department. So he has a long record of engaging in racist behavior.

FACT CHECK:The Justice Departmentfiled a lawsuit in 1973 against Trump Management, a company led by Trump, who was its president, alleging they used tactics to discriminate against black tenants, according to an August investigation by the Los Angeles Times.A 1973 New York Times story said that the Justice Department charged that the company had required different rental terms and conditions because of race and that it had misrepresented to blacks that apartments were not available. In what was the first quote from Trump ever published by the Times, he said of the charges They are absolutely ridiculous ... we have never discriminated ... and we never would. And he counter-sued.

Trump and DOJ came to an agreementtwo years laterin which Trump Management promised not to discriminateagainst blacks, Puerto Ricans and other minorities, according to a June 11, 1975 New York Times story.

10:53 p.m.Donald Trump claims 800 immigrants who should have been deported became citizens.

TRUMP STATEMENT: The other day we were deporting eight hundred people and perhaps they pressed the wrong button --they pressed the wrong button-- or perhaps worse than that it was corruption. But these people we were going to deport for good reason ended up becoming citizens--ended up becoming citizens. And it was eight hundred and now it turns out, it might be fifteen hundred and they dont even know.

FACT CHECK: Trump was referring to a Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) report released on Sept. 19, which explained that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) granted citizenship to at least 858 people from special interest countries who had been ordered to be deported under a different name. This happened because federal government agencies databases do not have all old fingerprint records of people who have been previously deported.

10:49 p.m.Donald Trump claims that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) controls a lot of the oil in Libya.

TRUMP STATEMENT: ISIS has oil all over the place, including the oil, a lot of the oil, in Libya.

FACT CHECK: According to a Bloomberg analysis, Libyan oil fields and pipelines are controlled by a combination of the Government of National Accord, allies of the Tripoli Petroleum Facilities Guard, and the Libyan National Army (and groups aligned with them).

Claudia Gazzini, a Tripoli-based senior analyst at the International Crisis Group, told the Washington Post that it was simply not true that the Islamic State has control of any Libyan oil.

While it is true that ISIS has attacked oil fields in the Sirte basin area and destroyed key equipment there, they have not sought to keep control of the oil fields, Gazzini said.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump explain how they will mend the racial divide in the United States during their first debate at Hofstra Universit...

TRUMP STATEMENT: Debate moderator Lester Holt said, Stop and frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young men

Trump replied: No, youre wrong. It went before a judge who was a very against police judge. It was taken away from her and our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. They would have won an appeal.

FACT CHECK: In Floyd v. City of New York, U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin a Bill Clinton appointee found stop and frisk policies in New York City violated the Constitutions Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. Scheindlin ordered the city to reform the policies.

Mayor Michael Bloombergs administration appealed the ruling, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals suspended the order. The court sent it back to be tried under a new judge.Ultimately, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided not to pursue the appeal upon election in 2014, meaning Scheindlins ruling was held and the appeal was dropped.

Trump said murder is up in New York City, but murder is actually down 4.3 percent this year-to-date. The murder rate, however, is up 7.9 percent over the last two years which is probably what Trump means since 2014 is the last time stop and frisk was implemented in New York.

10:36 p.m.Donald Trump claims that Hillary Clinton started the birther movement.

TRUMP STATEMENT: Well, its very simple to say. Sidney Blumenthal works for the campaign and a very close friend of Secretary Clinton, and her campaign manager, Patty Doyle, went tothey were in the campaign, her campaign against President Obama, fought very hard, and you can go look it up and you can check it out, and if you look at CNN this past week, Patty Solis Doyle was on Wolf Blitzer saying that this happened. Blumenthal sent McClatchy, a highly respected reporter at McClatchy, to Kenya to find out about it, they were pressing it very hard, she failed to get the birth certificate. When I got involved, I didnt fail, I got him to give the birth certificate.

FACT CHECK: This has been Trumps line since the birther issue resurfaced this fall, but Clintons campaign has repeatedly denied being involved. Patti Solis Doyle, Clintons 2008 campaign manager, told Wolf Blitzer a volunteer forwarded an email promoting birtherism and that that person was fired. The campaign nor Hillary did not start the birther movement, period, end of story, Solis Doyle told CNN, saying the volunteers actions were beyond the pale and that Clinton called Obama campaign manager David Plouffe to apologize.

Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton confidante but not a current campaign staffer, denies ever contacting McClatchy; the formerMcClatchy bureau chief, James Asher, recentlysaid he clearly recalled the conversation with Blumenthal.
