REAL AF with Andy FrisellaOct 28, 2026
The sources show a claimed ~10% figure attributed to Judge Roy Altman, but no roster or authoritative record substantiates it. The documented count is at least 32 judge-trip places across two WJC missions, with unique judges not established, so the figure is neither confirmed nor refuted. The extracted claim matches the post's wording and scope.

So what you're saying is that 10% of the federal judges have accepted a bribe trip to Israel? That's right. Okay, because these trips cost roughly about 30 grand a piece.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. A low-credibility analysis reports at least 32 federal judge-trip places documented in the March 2024 and March 2025 WJC missions, but states the number of unique judges is not established and that no comprehensive public register exists.[6]
Context. Multiple commentary pieces repeat the ~10% figure as Judge Roy Altman's own boast, which is the claimant's assertion rather than independent corroboration.[7][8][9]
Context. The tier1 fact-checking and government sources in the set (Full Fact, AP, PolitiFact listings, Snopes, and the federal judiciary statistical tables) do not address this trip figure, so no authoritative body has confirmed or debunked it.[1][2][3][4][5]
