Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “We now are paying the lowest price anywhere in the world for drugs.”
FactCheck.org rating: False (There isn’t evidence Trump’s deals so far have led to broad decreases in drug prices, nor is it certain they will in the future.) Trump Misleads on Drug Pricing Deals

| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: Rep. Ted Lieu said that the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump raping children.
Lead Stories rating: False (Lieu said at a February 3, 2026, news conference that the files include “highly disturbing allegations” of Donald Trump raping and threatening to kill children. He did not reference “unreleased” files, or say that child rapes are seen in them. The California Democrat was urging reporters to look into the allegations.) |
| TRUE | Claim via Social media: Images authentically show floats mocking U.S. President Donald Trump at a German parade, including a float of a pantsless Trump and a gagged Statue of Liberty.
Snopes rating: True (it is real) German parade floats mocking Trump are real. Here’s why the caricatures were displayed |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Every American kid is in the Epstein files because LifeTouch takes school pictures and never deletes photos, names, school, age, etc.
Lead Stories rating: False (There’s no evidence that all 49 million American schoolchildren are in the Justice Department’s files. The company name appears in the Department of Justice’s online library of released files about pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, but only once, on a minor charge on a monthly statement for a debit account whose owner name was redacted.) |
| FALSE | (International: UAE): Photo shows UAE crown prince on Epstein island.
AFP rating: False Purported image of UAE leader in Epstein files is manipulated |
