Shared Post Facebook The video purportedly shows former first lady Michelle Obama tweeting that Trump was on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's list and calling him a “rapist.”

The post is clearly a parody. Obama has not commented on Epstein's flight records, nor has he recently commented on Trump.
Fact check:
Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has attacked Democratic presidential nominee and current Vice President Kamala Harris, likening Harris' recent economic proposals to “giving Jeffrey Epstein authority over human trafficking policy.” Yahoo!NewsBefore President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Obama was seen as the favorite to beat Trump in a hypothetical showdown. Fox News It will report in July 2024.
The Facebook post appears to have been posted by Obama on X (formerly Twitter), where he attacks Trump for pointing out that Epstein's flight logs include the former president's name but not Obama's husband, Barack. “Who's not on the Epstein dossier? Barack Hussein Obama,” the post read. “You worry about birth certificates while the leader of your party is a rapist.”
The post is a parody. In the original image, the word “parody” is clearly visible next to the number of views, the posting time is listed as “9:30 RUB,” and the handle name of the former first lady is misspelled as “Michelle Obema.” (Fact check: Michelle Obama wore a necklace that said “Vote” instead of “Microphone” to the 2020 Democratic National Convention)
