4:47Now PlayingFor months, President Trump has claimed his administration has defeated ISIS and beaten back the caliphate. Top U.S. intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel, seemingly confirmed part of this claim.

The Fact Checker looks back to how the Islamic State grew after U.S. forces withdrew in 2011 and evaluates where the terrorist network stands now. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube
