Fake Ai Trump Audio Clip on 'Epstein Files' Gains Traction

Researchers reported Friday that left-leaning users amplified an AI-generated clip of President Donald Trump saying `Not releasing the Epstein files,` threatening to bring others down.
In recent weeks, renewed public furor over the so-called Epstein files has consumed US politics and spurred a showdown between lawmakers and President Donald Trump, who insists he has `nothing to do` with Jeffrey Epstein.
The clip appears to have originated when NewsGuard traced it to a video showing signs of generation with Sora, first posted on TikTok and reshared on Instagram without watermarks.
The spread of the clip has contributed to information chaos on social media, with researchers confirming it is AI-generated and the White House denying falsely attributing the remark to Leavitt.
Looking ahead, policymakers and analysts note polarized platforms and reduced social media moderation enable synthetic media to spread quickly, while insiders warn the acting president's administration may delay Epstein document release despite Wednesday's bill.
