Crucially, no credible authority has substantiated the allegation. Major U.S. and international news organizationsātypically quick to confirm incidents involving prominent political figuresāhave published no reports supporting the claim. Likewise, there have been no alerts, statements, or briefings from law enforcement agencies or from theĀ United States Secret Service, which would be directly involved in responding to any such emergency. In situations of genuine national significance, silence from these sources is often the clearest indicator that the story lacks legitimacy.
