NEW YORK — Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade said Friday that he had aired “in jest” a doctored photo that appeared to depict the judge who approved the FBI search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The false photo showed U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart’s face replacing a real photo of Jeffrey Epstein receiving a foot massage from his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. It was further doctored to make it appear that the judge was holding a bottle of bourbon and package of Oreo cookies.
Kilmeade, who was subbing for Tucker Carlson on Thursday night, showed the picture at the end of the hour-long show.
