Did a Donald Trump impersonator take the place of the former president during his November 6, 2023, civil fraud trial? No, that's not true: The visual of Trump sitting in court in this claim on Instagram has been edited.

The claim appeared on Instagram (archived here) on November 7, 2023. The caption read:
