… presidential election victory over Bolsonaro amid controversy surrounding extended voting hours in Brazil, hundreds of Maine absentee ballot envelopes reportedly being shipped to a Soros-linked nonprofit in Maryland before the investigation was closed, and the Trump administration accusing CBS of omitting key details from its 60 Minutes profile of a deported husband and father.
Multiple outlets report that the Trump administration, through the Department of Homeland Security, publicly slammed CBS's 60 Minutes profile of Moussa Diawara, a deported husband and father, for omitting an "absurd bit of fraud" from his asylum application.
This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.
