DNC Fact-Checking Account Posts Fake AI-Generated Audio of Donald Trump Jr

The audio falsely attributed pro-Russia statements to Trump Jr. and was deleted after backlash and verification of its inauthenticity.

The Democratic National Committee's 'FactPost' account shared an AI-generated audio clip falsely depicting Donald Trump Jr. advocating for arming Russia in the Ukraine conflict.
The clip, presented as a segment from Trump Jr.'s podcast, was quickly flagged as fake by social media users and Trump Jr.'s representatives.
FactPost and other accounts, including 'Republicans Against Trump,' deleted the post after confirming the audio was fabricated.
Critics, including GOP Majority Whip Tom Emmer, condemned the DNC's use of the fake clip, calling it a new low in political discourse.
FactPost was launched by the DNC to combat misinformation but is now under scrutiny for spreading false information itself.
