The social media posts do not include accurate quotes from FEMA's 2023 roundtable event, which discussed equity in the emergency management sector.

(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on August 27, 2024 shows Special Counsel Jack Smith (L) in Washington, DC, on June 9, 2023 and former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Howell, Michigan, August 20, 2024. On August 27, prosecutors filed a revised indictment of Donald Trump on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 US election after losing to Joe Biden.  The superseding indictment retains the same four charges against Trump but takes into account the recent Supreme Court ruling that a former president has broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

No, Trump didn't post this attack on Jack Smith | Fact check

Trump didn't make the post attributed to him, and there is no record of it on his Truth Social profile.

Teleprompter displayed Spanish text, not Harris' remarks | Fact check

A report from Univision News showed the text on the teleprompter was written in Spanish and meant to help the moderator introduce an attendee.

Footage in video predates Hurricane Milton | Fact check

At least two of the three clips circulated on the internet before Hurricane Milton. One of these appears to be digitally created.

Fake news.
