Left-leaning social media users have amplified an AI-generated audio clip purporting to show US President Donald Trump screaming at US officials to block the release of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, researchers said on Friday.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, renewed public furore over the so-called Epstein files has consumed US politics, spurring a showdown between lawmakers and Trump, a former friend of the late convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot releasing the Epstein files,\u201d a Trump-like synthetic voice said in a widely circulated clip that social media posts falsely claimed showed the president berating his cabinet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I go down, I will bring all of you down with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clip was amplified by posts on Instagram and TikTok, many of which garnered millions of views and thousands of comments.<\/p>\n
Disinformation watchdog NewsGuard said the audio was \u201can AI-generated fake\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Left-leaning social media users have amplified an AI-generated audio clip purporting to show US President Donald Trump screaming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[159225,23,1340,12,16848,49590,4136,14825,17153,3,85270,1283,33836,1153,21,19,22,20,25,159224,30094,24,2002],"class_list":["post-307350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-ai-generated-audio-clip","tag-america","tag-congress","tag-donald-trump","tag-epstein","tag-epstein-files","tag-instagram","tag-jeffrey-epstein","tag-karoline-leavitt","tag-news","tag-newsguard","tag-openai","tag-sora","tag-tiktok","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-us-officials","tag-us-politics","tag-usa","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
