It was reported by I think NBC Chicago that Trump refused to participate if they went ahead with the live fact checking as planned, which produced a standoff that delayed proceedings by about a half hour.
I’m not sure this has been substantiated by other sources.
EDIT: It’s mentioned briefly here, but somebody went into more detail in a tweet I don’t have on hand.
And yet he chastised the organizers at the black journalist thing for not being set up on time.
That delay was on him, not equipment failures. Spoiler: he lied again.
You’ve got to be shitting me. Is that for real? Any news article to confirm?

This was an excerpt about it I grabbed from elsewhere.
Right, that was it, thank you!
So there was supposed to be fact checking live on the screen, and he refused?
It’s 100% an idiotic power dynamic thing
Guess he’s on CP (Corrupt Politician) time.
Also CP (child predator - his own, no less) time
He was too busy watching CP to make it there on time. Creepy ass old weirdo.
