PolitiFact is fact-checking former President Donald Trump's Fox News town hall, airing today at 11 a.m. ET.  

The town hall on "The Faulkner Focus" with Harrison Faulkner, was recorded Oct. 15 in Cumming, Georgia, outside Atlanta. (Faulkner also co-moderated Trump’s July appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists panel in Chicago.)

The town hall, as billed, is to focus on women’s issues; Trump has called himself the "father of IVF" and has said abortion should be left to the states. In a press statement previewing the program, Faulkner said, "Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most."

Here, we fact-check some of his statements.
