Trump Alters National Review Article, Deletes That Affair Allegations Could Have "Torpedoed" His Campaign [View all]
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trump-alters-national-review-article-deletes-that-affair-allegations-could-have-torpedoed-his-campaignTrump has posted yet another one of his manipulated articles to Truth Social. This is Trump's 6th altered article posted in April, and his 25th overall uncovered by MeidasTouch. Trump has eclipsed the 5 manipulated articles he posted in March.
Trump's article manipulation posts appear to be screenshots of actual articles, but they have been changed. These altered articles share a news organization’s logo, title, and byline, but scrub out all the unfavorable content that Trump doesn't like. It's truly egregious.
This time Trump’s victim was right wing outlet National Review and author Andrew C. McCarthy. The original article from National Review titled, "No, Cohen’s Guilty Plea Does Not Prove Trump Committed Campaign-Finance Crimes," can be found here, while Trump's manipulated version can found below for comparison purposes.
The article argued that Michael Cohen's campaign finance guilty plea doesn't automatically make Trump guilty, but Trump association with Cohen could hurt him. Trump's sharing of this article, even in a manipulated form, contains attacks against star witness Michael Cohen and, thus, is also a potential gag order violation.
