In this week's Facts Matter column, Bob Oswald explores claims that the indictment of former President Donald Trump was just a show, the judge assigned to his case was photographed at a Trump rally, wildfires in Canada were purposely set and more.
A recent Facebook post claimed the indictment of former President Donald Trump, in the case of keeping and hiding top-secret documents, was all just a show.
But this claim is"false and ridiculous," PolitiFact says. The post was flagged by Facebook as misinformation on its site. Trump, who is a candidate for president in the 2024 election, is not commander in chief of the Armed Forces. That would be President Joe Biden, who took over that position when he was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021.
The photo was taken by Getty Images photographer Spencer Platt during a rally for Trump held in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The caption with the story originally read,"Trump rallygoers, or members of the judiciary? It's hard to say." But the caption was changed recently to just"Trump rallygoers." The all-wood church building, which dates back to the 1800s, was destroyed by fire in 1862 but was rebuilt, Boston 25 News reported.
But the fires aren't being deliberately set. USA Today reports that this is an effort to control the fires.
