We’ve fact-checked 227 statements by Hillary Clinton so far, more than any other figure appearing on the Truth-O-Meter other than President Barack Obama.

We first looked at a statement by Clinton in 2007, during her first campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. The claim: “Corporate profits are up, CEO pay is up, but average wages of Americans are flat.” The rating: True.

Our fact-checks followed her through that campaign, her time as secretary of state and her return to presidential politics.
