MBFC's Daily Vetted Fact Checks for 03/31/2026

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)

MISLEADING	Claim via Social Media: People would not be allowed to use their driver’s license when registering to vote under the SAVE America Act. AP News rating: Misleading (Some driver’s licenses, such as Enhanced Driver’s Licenses that verify citizenship, could be used in limited states. However, most standard driver’s licenses and REAL IDs do not confirm citizenship, meaning many voters would need additional documentation to register.) Fact Check: SAVE America Act and driver’s licenses
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Donald Trump posted “The United States will begin a major Ground Operation in Iran” to Truth Social Lead Stories rating: False (He did not post it, but it does seem likely to happen.) Fact Check: No Trump Post About Ground Operation In Iran That Would Be Strong, Precise And Successful — Fake Truth Social Screenshot
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of California claimed that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein paid for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s college and law school. Snopes rating: False (There is no record of Ted Lieu ever saying this.) Did Ted Lieu claim Epstein paid Pam Bondi’s college, law school tuition?
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Video of dancing man was leaked from Kash Patel’s Gmail account. Lead Stories rating: False (Old video, not from the leak, and not Kash.) Fact Check: Dancing Man Video NOT Leaked From Kash Patel’s Gmail Account — Has Been Online For Years
FALSE	(International: Thailand): About 425,000 Israelis have fled the war to Thailand AFP Fact Check rating: False Israeli tourist data from 2025 misrepresented as mass exodus to Thailand
