Did Biden Grab Zelensky’s Butt in Viral White House Photo?
False. No, Biden did not place his hand on Zelensky’s buttocks. The viral image is a digitally manipulated version of an official photo shared by the White House press team.
Did Zelensky’s Wife Go on $40K Shopping Spree in Paris?
Claims that the first lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska went on a shopping spree during her visit to Paris this month are not supported by credible evidence.
They appear to stem from a single tweet posted by an unverified and low-engagement Twitter account, which provided scant details about the alleged purchases, simply citing an anonymous “source.”
Additionally, the location of the U.S.-based account and its posting history raise significant doubts about the veracity of the claims.
