Fact Check: Was Joe Biden's body wheeled out of the White House? Viral social media post debunked

Every now and then, a piece of news related to Joe Biden takes the internet by storm. This time, a video is being widely circulated where a body bag can be seen leaving the White House. While the video started circulating in June 2023, the time stamp showed the footage's date as June 23, 2022.

Several social media users shared the video widely, claiming that it was Joe Biden whose body was being wheeled out of the White House. In the video, more than two people can be seen dragging something outside. It is not confirmed if the footage has been taken from a CCTV camera, and only after zooming the minute details of the video can be seen clearly.

It is unknown whether it was a body bag or if some hoax is being spread around on social media. However, it was definitely not Joe Biden in the bag because the video is more than a year old, and in this one year, President Biden has made several public appearances. Moreover, there was no official news about anyone dying in the White House.

Hence, there can be a chance that it might not be a body bag but something being circulated with false claims. Therefore, it was not Joe Biden whose body was being wheeled out of the White House, and the news being spread is fake and untrue.

One should refrain from sharing such fake videos. As social media users, we should only share news and videos from reliable and verified sources. The best practice is to report or flag such videos so they are not spread further.
