NOT REAL NEWS: A look at what didn't happen this week
Social media users shared a range of false claims this week. Here are the facts: New York Judge Juan M. Merchan did not bar testimony by a campaign finance expert in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. The defense team chose not to call him. Trump distorted a policy statement on the “use of deadly force” to claim his life was in jeopardy during a 2022 search at Mar-a-Lago, but the wording is standard in such documents. The International Criminal Court has not issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
