‘Muslim Spy’ Falsehood Circulates Again
Q: Did President Trump find a “Muslim spy” in the White House?
A: No. That falsehood about a career State Department employee has circulated since 2017.
FULL ANSWER
A number of websites in recent days have parroted a sensational headline that posits that President Donald Trump has exacted “sweet deep state revenge” after he “caught Barack Obama’s Muslim spy in the White House.”
That claim is false — and old. It has been circulating since last year.
“For months, patriots have been wondering about certain Barack Obama holdovers who had embedded themselves inside the ‘Deep State,'” the story published reads. “Now, reports are coming in that President Donald Trump has just caught the biggest Muslim spy who brokered the disastrous Iranian Nuclear Deal working right inside the White House, and what he did to her has conservatives cheering all across the country.”
