DNC Social Media Account Shares AI-Generated Fake Audio of Donald Trump Jr

The Democratic National Committee's rapid response account posted and later deleted a fabricated audio clip falsely attributed to Donald Trump Jr. advocating for arming Russia over Ukraine.

The audio clip, widely shared online, falsely depicted Donald Trump Jr. suggesting the U.S. should have sent weapons to Russia instead of Ukraine.
Experts and AI detection tools confirmed the clip was a deepfake, with significant signs of generative AI manipulation.
The DNC's FactPostNews account, created to combat misinformation, shared the clip before deleting it after authenticity concerns were raised.
Donald Trump Jr.'s representatives and podcast producers confirmed the statements in the clip were fabricated and not featured in any podcast episode.
The incident highlights growing concerns about the use of AI-generated content in political discourse and its potential for spreading misinformation.
