Trump Spreads False Claim Reporter Is NY Judge’s Son

Ben Kochman writes for the New York Post:

Donald Trump keeps sharing a photo on social media featuring a bright-red arrow pointing at the head of a bearded man at his civil fraud trial — claiming he is the son of the judge.

Loomer has posted the false claim at least a dozen times.
