“Donald Trump’s tax returns proved he had followed the law and fulfilled his tax obligations.”
PolitiFact says: This claim is premature. It’s possible he paid what he owed and it’s possible he owes money. Only audits, not returns, can prove whether the proper amount of tax was paid.
“The election in Brazil “was very clearly a rigged election.”
PolitiFact says: There is no evidence the election was rigged. Election observers in Brazil and internationally have reviewed the processes and determined the election was safe.

“The Human Meat Project is using donated bodies and organs to create “alternative meat consumption options.”

“Tom Hanks shouting "sexy baby" is connected to Jeffery Epstein and pedophilia.”
PolitiFact says: The clip shows Hanks in a 2011 “Jimmy Kimmel Live” sketch that mocked the reality television series “Toddlers & Tiaras.”
