Did the Ukrainian government state that "eight mansions owned by Ukrainian military officials" were "burned down in wildfires in Los Angeles" in January 2025? No, that's not true: A video that made this assertion contained the logo of United24, the official fundraising platform of the Ukrainian government. A United24 spokesperson and
Did President-elect Donald Trump post a map of Finland on Truth Social? No, that's not true: A manual review of his account did not show such an entry as of this writing, January 14, 2025. The map in question did not correctly reflect current Finnish borders nor those in the year seen in the image.

Does a clip showing open computer files prove President Joe Biden's farewell address was prerecorded? No, that's not true: The recording only showed Biden's photo, not the purportedly prerecorded video file with his speech. Plus, a White House pool photographer took a photo capturing the final moments of the speech and posted it as the president was still speaking.

Does a viral clip authentically show Donald Trump's son Barron "whispering something to Biden" during his father's second inauguration on January 20, 2025? No, that's not true: The cropped video misled viewers about the scene's content. The footage of the same scene shot from a different angle showed that at that particular moment Trump's son spoke to outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, not outgoing President Joe Biden.
Does a viral clip offer proof that the January 2025 California wildfires followed the same path as the planned California high-speed rail system? No, that's not true: The clip repeated a recycled falsehood. It showed a 2018 map that depicted areas in the red flag warning zone of increased risk, not actual fires.
Does a viral post prove that the Minnesota governor and former running mate of Kamala Harris performed a Nazi salute in public? No, that's not true: The post took a random frame from a video out of context. As the recording proves, it was part of a longer movement, not a separate gesture. Walz put his hand in the air above his head to greet the attendees of a campaign rally. No credible source compared it to a Nazi salute at the time.
Does a clip authentically show U.S. military vehicles patrolling the U.S. border? No, that's not true: The video was generated by AI. An account self-described as an "AI Creater" originally posted the video. The clip also contained discrepancies strongly pointing to AI and included the watermark of an AI creation program.
Did Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist, publicly say in January 2025 that he "will leave the USA if the Epstein Client List is released"? No, that's not true: Lead Stories found no credible reports to support Gates' supposed announced departure. Court materials detailing Jeffrey Epstein's contacts were made public in January 2024. Neither Gates nor any reputable news organization stated that Gates changed the country of his residency since then.
