  • Fact Check: Photo Does NOT Show Chris Wallace With Jeffrey Epstein -- It's Wallace And George Clooney

    Fact Check

    Does a photo in a social meme show Fox News anchor Chris Wallace and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein together? No, that's not true: The implication is that Wallace, who is the target of social media attacks after he moderated the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, visited Epstein's private island. This is a photo…

  • Fact Check: Biden Was NOT Wearing A Communications Device In Debate With Trump

    Fact Check

    Do images from the September 29, 2020, presidential debate show that Joe Biden was wearing a communications device, perhaps to receive tips on what to say? No, that is not true. Social media posts are making this claim after a rosary, worn by Biden around his wrist in remembrance of his son, was seen poking from his sleeve -- and…

  • Fact Check: Biden Did NOT Say, 'If You're Going To Vote, Vote Early And Vote Often'

    Fact Check

    Did Joe Biden say, "if you're going to vote, vote early and vote often"? No, that's not true: During the first 2020 presidential debate, the Democratic nominee encouraged Americans to vote, but he did not use that phrase, which is a well-worn quote that's been around for decades, if not longer. The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence That Photos Show Donald Trump With A 'Neural Stimulator Device'

    Fact Check

    Do photos show President Donald Trump with a "neural stimulator device" on his scalp under his hair? No, there's no evidence that's true: Even assuming the photographs are real, which we don't, the images are not suggestive of such a device, a neural device expert told Lead Stories. The claim appeared in a post (archived here), published on Facebook on…

  • Fact Check: Joe Biden Was NOT Wearing An IV Or A Wire In His Sleeve During The Cleveland Debate

    Fact Check

    Did Joe Biden wear an IV or a wire up his sleeve during the Presidential Debate in Cleveland on September 29, 2020? No, that's not true: viral photos making that assertion or just questioning what is up Biden's sleeve actually show a rosary Biden wears in remembrance of his late son Beau. The rosary has a tiny medallion attached to…

  • Fact Check: Biden Was NOT Wearing A Wire During Presidential Debate; It's a Shirt Crease

    Fact Check

    Is it true that Joe Biden was wearing a wire during the first presidential debate with Donald Trump on Sept. 29, 2020? No, that is not true. Not only is there no evidence to back up a claim making the rounds on social media, a blow-up of a moment captured on camera clearly shows that the supposed "wire" was a…

    Fact Check

    Did Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News or someone on his team give former Vice President Joe Biden a crib sheet ahead of debate #1 with President Donald Trump? No evidence nor provenance was supplied by the Republican operative who made the claim on an Iowa radio show to substantiate that before it was amplified by several other outlets. The…

  • Fact Check: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Was NOT 'Nominated And Confirmed' To The Supreme Court 43 Days Before A Presidential Election

    Fact Check

    Was Ruth Bader Ginsburg "nominated and confirmed 43 days before an election"? No, that's not true: Ginsburg was nominated and confirmed in 42 days (not 43) in 1993 -- which was not an election year. The previous year, 1992, was an election year, in which Bill Clinton won for the first time. Approximately eight months into his first term, he…

  • Fact Check: Kamala Harris Started School In 1968 And WAS Bused In 1969.

    Fact Check

    Did Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris start school in 1970, proving that she was not bused in Berkeley, California, during the 1960s like she claims? No, that's not true: The Berkeley school district confirmed her elementary school was segregated until 1968 and that Harris was bused to school in 1969 as a kindergartener. The claim appeared in a Facebook…

    Fact Check

    Did Kamala Harris vow to sign an executive order that would send police to your door to get your guns if you do not surrender them? No, that's not true. Sen. Harris, the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee, said when she was running for president that, if Congress did not pass legislation for stronger gun-buyer background checks and a renewal…
