President Trump heads to Capitol Hill Tuesday night for his first State of the Union address, giving him an opportunity to speak directly to the American people about his first year in office.
Mr. Trump said he hopes to project a sense of unity in his address before an audience of lawmakers who remain bitterly divided over issues like immigration, trade and infrastructure.

We’ll be fact-checking Mr. Trump’s speech below over the course of the night. Follow along with all of CBS News’ coverage here.
