VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The Southern District of Florida's official leadership page lists Jason A. Reding Quiñones as United States Attorney, with no person named Canionis in that role.[1]
Supports. C-SPAN's listing for the Southern District of Florida names Jason Reding Quinones as U.S. Attorney, consistent with the DOJ page.[2]
Context. Wikipedia's list of Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys shows Jason Reding Quiñones confirmed for the Southern District of Florida in August 2025, consistent with the official record.[3]
Context. The passage's spelling "Canionis" differs from the official surname "Quiñones" and the claimant said he had no inside information, so the name is most plausibly a transcription error; the claim's literal name does not match any official record provided.
