3 Legal claim verifications about Donald Trump Donald Trump ×
“Two witnesses have alleged that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein strangled underage girls at a Trump golf club in Florida.”
No credible evidence supports this claim. The only sources referencing strangulation allegations identify Robin Leach — not Donald Trump or Jeffrey Epstein — as the alleged perpetrator, and place the incident at a California golf course, not a Florida golf club. Authoritative Florida court records, federal Epstein/Maxwell prosecution filings, and fact-checking organizations confirm zero witness statements or legal proceedings alleging Trump and Epstein strangled anyone at a Florida golf club. The claim misattributes both the alleged perpetrator and the location.
“A Supreme Court ruling on Trump's tariffs requires that consumers receive refunds for higher prices paid due to the tariffs.”
This claim is false. The Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA did not authorize Trump's tariffs, but it did not address refunds at all—it remanded those questions to the Court of International Trade. Any potential refund claims would be filed by importers through customs processes, not paid directly to consumers. There is no legal requirement that consumers receive refunds for higher prices. Some companies like FedEx have voluntarily pledged to pass refunds through, but that is a business decision, not a court mandate.
“The US Supreme Court blocked major parts of Donald Trump's global tariff program.”
The claim is largely accurate. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, striking down the sweeping "reciprocal" and "fentanyl" tariffs covering imports from nearly every country — the centerpiece of Trump's global tariff agenda. However, the ruling was limited to IEEPA-based tariffs; other trade authorities (Section 232, 301, etc.) were unaffected, and Trump quickly reimposed a 15% global tariff under alternative statutes, substantially limiting the practical impact of the block.
