FALSE

An example of the photo is below.

Ghislaine Maxwell and Judge Bruce Reinhart… looking cozy!

The photo also shows Judge Reinhart holding a drink and a pack of Oreos.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a former socialite convicted of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Judge Reinhart has found himself in the crosshairs of conspiracy-themed social media ire since signing off on an FBI warrant to search the premises of Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Despite the photo managing to find its way onto social media and also onto a FOX News segment hosted by Brian Kilmeade, the photo has been clearly fabricated.

In reality the photo splices two separate photos, one showing the judge sitting on his couch at home, and the other showing Ghislaine Maxwell and now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein on a plane.

The original photos are below.

Some other quick fact-checks related to this subject…

– Judge Bruce Reinhart was appointed during Trump’s tenure as president, but was not directly appointed by the then-President himself.
– Judge Bruce Reinhart donated to the Obama campaign as well as other political candidates from both main political parties in the United States.
