Tim Walz: Viral Russian deepfake falsely accuses him of sexual abuse

US intelligence officials accuse Moscow of trying to disrupt the presidential election, after a deepfake video went viral smearing Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz with sexual abuse allegations during his time as a high school teacher. The video may be fabricated, but the name of the false victim matches a former student at Walz's high school -- though he confirmed he was never taught nor abused by Walz. France 24’s Vedika Bahl explains these false accusations in this episode of Truth or Fake.
