Fox Airs Fake Image Of Judge Who Approved Warrant

The Associated Press has a fact-check:

CLAIM: A photo shows Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein who was convicted of sex trafficking, with U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart, the judge who approved the FBI search warrant for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: Altered photo. This image has been manipulated by combining two separate, unrelated photos. The photo of Maxwell was released in 2021 as evidence in her trial. The photo of Reinhart was published in 2017 on a publicly accessible Facebook page under his name.

THE FACTS: Social media users are sharing the manipulated image that puts Reinhart and Maxwell together, making it appear she is rubbing his foot as he holds a bottle of bourbon and package of Oreos.
