“The Appellate Court removed incompetent Judge Engoron, but he refused to go, or even to acknowledge them. Hes a highly overturned, CROOKED Judge, who is retiring into a life of lawsuits, along with his Chief Clerk, soon! He is almost as Corrupt as Leticia James, but not quite! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post contains several factually incorrect and misleading claims about Judge Arthur Engoron and the recent New York appellate court ruling.

“I played Golf yesterday with the Great Roger Clemens and his son, Kacy. Roger Clemens was easily one of the few Greatest Pitchers of All Time, winning 354 Games, the Cy Young Award seven times (A Record, by a lot!), and played in six World Series, winning two! He was second to Nolan Ryan in most strike-outs, and he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, NOW! People think he took drugs, but nothing was proven. He never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it. He was just as great before those erroneous charges were leveled at him. That rumor has gone on for years, and there has been no evidence whatsoever that he was a druggie. This is going to be like Pete Rose where, after over 4,000 Hits, they wouldnt put him in the Hall of Fame until I spoke to the Commissioner, and he promised to do so, but it was essentially a promise not kept because he only opened it up when Pete died and, even then, he said that Pete Rose only got into the mix because of DEATH. We are not going to let that happen in the case of Roger Clemens. 354 Wins — Put him in NOW. He and his great family should not be forced to endure this stupidity any longer!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately lists Roger Clemens’ win total at 354 and his record seven Cy Young Awards. However, it incorrectly claims Clemens ranks second in career strikeouts (he ranks third) and overstates the absence of evidence for drug use, as there is significant testimony and physical evidence, though he was acquitted of perjury

“Did Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland, lie about getting a Bronze Star?” @realDonaldTrump

“The greatest and most beautiful fighter jet ever made —— F-22 Raptor!” @realDonaldTrump

“A federal judge has ordered the shutdown of the Alligator Alcatraz detention facility in Florida”

Fact-Check Summary The claim that a federal judge has ordered the shutdown of the Alligator Alcatraz detention facility in Florida is broadly accurate in practical terms but imprecise in its legal nuance.
