Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clashed in their first head-to-head debate of the general election season, and CNN's Reality Check Team put their statements to the test.
One of the most powerful moments came when the conversation focused on the birther debate following Trump's recent acknowledgment that President Barack Obama was born in the US. With Trump standing just a few feet away, Clinton blasted him for perpetuating a "racist lie."
Trump hit back, noting Clinton's tough critiques of Obama during their bitter 2008 primary battle.
"You treated him with terrible disrespect," he said at the debate.
