In early August 2024, an audio recording spread in Runet, on which Barack Obama allegedly accuses Joe Biden and his team of trying to kill Donald Trump. We checked the authenticity of this story.

Russian-speaking publications on the recognition of ex-president of the United States Barack Obama that what happened on July 13 attempt On the other former president Donald Trump is the leadership of the Democratic Party, they began to appear massively on August 5. One of the first news was shared by the Prochremlin Telegram channel "Putin in Telegram", Whose post at the time of writing this parsing acquired 164,000 views. “Such a conclusion (about the organizer of the attempt.-Approx. Ed.) Can be made from a 15-minute telephone conversation merged by the DNC employee (the National Committee of the Democratic Party of the United States) to Deep State Leaks. The call took place on July 22 between Barack Obama and his former adviser, now one of the main strategists of the Democratic Party, David Axelrod. In a conversation, Obama told the interlocutor that the real reason output Biden from the election race is the failure of his team in an attempt to attempt on Trump. The former president also stated that the past attempt to physically eliminate Trump was not the last. Deep State Leks states that this is far from the only sensation in that conversation, and promises to release a number of articles with revelations, ”the publication says. Moreover, it was originally indicated in it that the call between Obama and Axelrod took place on August 22, but then the text Corrected. A 21-second fragment of the alleged conversation is attached to the post, the recording of which was at the disposal of Deep State Leaks.

At the time of writing this analysis, according to the TGSTAT service, at least 190 similar posts were published in Telegram in different languages ​​(about 140 of them in Russian), which gained almost 1.6 million views in total.

Almost all of the publications mentioned above gives a video consisting of an audio recording of Obama's alleged conversation with Axelrod, and a picture of the Uglushka with their portraits and Russian-language subtitles. On the record, the political consultant notes that the “poor state” of a certain person (apparently Biden) was a “main problem”. The ex-president of the United States objects to this:

“His poor condition was not the reason why he dropped out. I know about your mutual hostility, but I tell you that he does not leave because of a decrease in his mental abilities. He was kicked out with his team because they could not get rid of Trump. This was their only opportunity, and these idiots missed her. If only they could get rid of Trump, we would provide them with a victory over any candidate from the Republicans. ”

Some channels not only called Deep State Leks as the source of the news, but also attached a link to the corresponding publication of this publication. On him site The article under the heading “High -ranking democrats are standing for Trump; Obama knows about details " I went outAs stated, on August 1. However, by the time of writing this analysis of the shocking recognition of the ex-president, not any large American media was told. The news was ignored, including publications criticizing Bayden and the current administration from the Trick positions.

According to the text on the website of Deep State Leaks, a complete 15-minute recording of Obama’s conversation with Axelrod was sent by a certain employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), whose personality authors do not disclose. According to the source, the conversation took place on July 22, on the first day after statements Biden about his exit from the election race. DEEP State Leks promises that in the future it will publish a series of articles and only in the latter will give a whole recording of the conversation, but for now it posts only three fragments. The first of them was transformed in the video and dispersed through the Russian-speaking Telegram channels. In the second fragment (9 seconds), Obama says:

"And, even worse, we missed our chance. The second attempt would be much more difficult to organize, especially now, when state checks began. ”

On the third audio recordings (it, like the first, lasts 21 seconds), the ex-president and political consultant allegedly discuss how the democrats conduct a campaign after the removal of Biden:

Obama: She (Kamala Harris - approx. Ed.) Already decided on a partner (candidate For the post of vice president. - approx. Ed.)? I saw a short list, and this is complete disappointment.
Axelrod: Do you like any of them?
Obama: It's not whether I like them or not. None of them will help Kamale to defeat Trump. You guys spend too much time and effort to support someone, while you should focus on who you need to remove.

In addition, the publication of Deep State Leaks has text quotes that are absent in published fragments. In particular, the author of the article gives the opinion of Axelrod that most sponsors of the Democratic Party were ready to financially support Harris. Obama allegedly reacted to this with the words that "is not yet ready to give an answer" and that he needs to "weigh all other options before making an official statement." After that, the ex-president complained about the lack of other worthy candidates from the party and explained the mass support of Harris by the lack of an alternative, calling this a serious problem for the democrats. Axelrod, in turn, allegedly said that he did not consider this a problem and that the situation "should become better now that Biden has left." Then the article follows the dialogue from the first record, however, in the text version in the middle of Obama’s replica there is a sentence that absent on audio: “And, by the way, Harris is part of this failed team.” A quote from the ex-president about a possible re-attempt on Trump is also given: “I did not say that this is impossible. I said it would be difficult to do. I do not see other options at the moment. ”

Deep state leaks is not an investigative project or a socio-political publication, but Another The site, the creators of which pretend to be for the American media. On this resource there is neither the section “About us”, nor indications of the names of any employees, nor links to the social networks of the project. The domain name Deepstateleaks.org was registered on July 18, 2024, according to specialized data services. At the same time, on the site you can find publications that allegedly published much earlier (in 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022 And 2023 years), and one material The following date is indicated: November 12, 0203. All these notes are retelling of the texts of other publications, probably supplemented and changed using neural networks. In addition, in the upper left corner of the site Deep state leaks is located Date indicator, which still shows August 5, 2024-the day when Russian-speaking Telegram channels replicated the news of Obama’s conversation with Axelrod.

“Verified” studied three audio recordings published on this site using tools for determining content generated by artificial intelligence. Analysis using service From Hive showed that with a probability of 100%, all three files were created using neural networks. The generation of such records will not be difficult, since there are thousands of Obama voice records in the public domain that can be used as samples. Moreover, on the network exists A lot servicesthanks to which any text can Substitute The voice of the ex-president of the United States.

The earliest Russian -speaking publication on exposure from Deep State Leaks, which was able to detect “verified” appeared August 5 at 12:56 pm Moscow time in the Telegram channel Voice of Mordor. Previously, this channel is not only repeatedly mentioned In our fathes of fakes, but several times distributed messages from fake Internet resources mimicing for foreign media and He became their primary source In Runet. In those cases Attackers also Used Neuralities to create false evidence.

Thus, the messages distributed on the network about the recognition of Obama that the leadership of the Democratic Party of the United States was involved in the attempt on Trump, are false. They are based on the audio recordings generated by artificial intelligence, which first appeared on the fake website of the supposedly American publication, and then were distributed in Russian by the Prochremple Telegram channels.
