Eric Trump calls screenshot of UFC info request an AI fake

Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has claimed that a screenshot showing him asking for inside information on UFC match results is a fake generated by AI. The screenshot appears to be a private message exchange with UFC commentator Daniel Cormier, in which Eric Trump asks about match-fixing and information on injured fighters. On X, Eric Trump stated that he had never spoken with Cormier and that Cormier deleting the post proves it was a fabrication. However, Adam Cochran, founder of blockchain investment firm Cinneamhain Ventures, questioned this, noting that the post was originally made by Eric Trump himself and that a URL indicating it was "deleted by the author" remained after its removal. Previously, the Trump family's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) reportedly paid $250,000 in bonuses to fighters at a White House UFC event using its own stablecoin, USD1.
