A voicemail about government records that’s purportedly from President Joe Biden isn’t authentic. But some social media users are still wondering whether it is.
But a Feb. 22 Instagramclaiming to feature an audio recording of Biden"trying to cover up" his handling of government records isn’t authentic.
"Audio record of Biden trying to cover up his stolen documents crime," reads text over a still image of the president. Clicking on the image produces audio that sounds like Biden leaving a voicemail for his son. "Hey pal, it’s Dad," the recording says."Look, I don’t think they’re going to get off my ass about these documents and I know there’s at least five more places that I can remember where they are. Listen, use the red cellphone, call up Barack and Michelle, tell them Operation Crash and Burn is a go. Do this immediately, please. Alright love you, pal. Bye."
The post sharing this recording was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.
