Washinton DC : Thousand of fake copies of The Washington Post falsely claimed that US President Donald Trump has stepped down.
The fake news were filled with anti-Trump stories. Headlined as Unpresidented, the fake news stated that Trump left Washington for Yalta, the Crimean resort where the World War 11 meeting between allied leaders was held.
There are fake print editions of The Washington Post being distributed around downtown DC, and we are aware of a website attempting to mimic The Post’s. They are not Post products, and we are looking into this.
