The fallout continues after the US Department of Justice released over 3 million documents pertaining to disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. New York mayor Zohran Mamdani's mother, film director Mira Nair was named in an email, in reference of attending a film party. But AI-generated images by a parody account triggered viral false claims Mamdani has devious political connections or is Epstein's illegitimate son. Vedika Bahl debunks them in Truth or Fake.

A Buddhist monk influencer has amassed millions of followers on social media, sharing spiritual guidance videos and selling e-books on healing. The catch is that he's AI-generated. Vedika Bahl explains in this edition of Truth or Fake.

TikTok recently changed hands in the US, giving a consortium of mainly American investors – run by Trump ally Larry Ellison – control of its US operations. Since then, American TikTok users claim that they're unable to write the word "Epstein" in messages on the app, and accuse TikTok of suppressing content critical of President Donald Trump, as well as censoring videos about ICE raids in Minneapolis. Vedika Bahl goes through what we know in Truth or Fake.

FBI Director Kash Patel has been accused of not knowing the law, after falsely claiming protesters cannot carry firearms to demonstrations following the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. His statement outraged gun rights groups across the US – including the NRA – who argue it’s a Second Amendment right to bear arms, and Pretti had a legal licence to carry a handgun. Vedika Bahl explains in this edition of Truth or Fake.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, just weeks after Renée Good's fatal shooting in the same US city. The Department of Homeland Security claims Pretti was "brandishing" a gun and was a "domestic terrorist" who was aggressively approaching federal agents, but video evidence directly contradicts the Trump administration's "official" version of events. Vedika Bahl goes through multiple angles of the incident in Truth or Fake.

Across the United States, arrests by ICE agents – and protests against them – continue. As President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has intensified, more and more videos have gained traction online, showing ICE arrests filmed by bystanders. And whilst there are verified videos showing aggression by federal agents, not all the videos are authentic. In this edition of Truth or Fake, Vedika Bahl goes through what's real and what's misleading.

In his lengthy speech at Davos, US President Donald Trump falsely claimed the US "gave back" Greenland to Denmark after World War II. In reality, Greenland has never been America's to give back at all. Vedika Bahl goes through the facts – and falsehoods – surrounding Greenland in this edition of Truth or Fake.

As Donald Trump marks one year back in the White House, FRANCE 24's Vedika Bahl takes a closer look at how he has weaponised artificial intelligence into a political tool, used to glorify himself, attack his opponents and amplify his political agenda. Whilst it has become a defining feature of his digital presence, it's brought with it a new frontier for misinformation and fake news.

What is the death toll from the protests in Iran? Since demonstrations broke out against the country's theocratic regime in late December, the number of reported deaths has continued to rise, though it has been harder than ever to verify an exact count with an internet blackout in Iran hindering communications. As of January 19, two main human rights groups have confirmed nearly 4,000 deaths, though that figure is likely a significate underestimate. Vedika Bahl goes through what we know in Truth or Fake.

In the aftermath of Renee Good's death during an immigration raid in Minnesota, an internet manhunt began to identify the ICE agent who fatally shot her. Using artificial intelligence, internet users "unmasked" the officer at the scene and falsely identified him, triggering threats and vitriol towards two unrelated people with the same name.
