Image of Trump with young girl emerged after Epstein files dropped. There’s no proof it’s real

Shortly after the U.S. Department of Justice released a batch of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on December 19, an image depicting Donald Trump with a young girl — whose face was censored — on what appeared to be a private jet spread online.

Many users replying to the post appeared to believe the image authentically depicted Trump with an unknown girl. Others claimed she was Ivanka Trump, the president's eldest daughter. Reporter Taija PerryCook inspected the image and shares the details of what she found.
