Eric Trump fiercely denied accusations<\/u> Sunday night that he had contacted an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) commentator about whether any of the fights at the White House event that day were \u201crigged\u201d \u2013 a denial that only intensified scrutiny from critics.<\/p>\n

In a social media post<\/u> published just ahead of the White House UFC event, an X user by the name of \u201cSean O\u2019Meowlly\u201d flagged what they claimed was a \u201cnow-deleted post\u201d by UFC commentator Daniel Cormier exposing alleged messages he received from Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just cut to the chase. Are any of the fights tomorrow rigged?\u201d reads a message alleged to be from Trump to Cormier, which has not been authenticated, though several media outlets<\/u> have confirmed Cormier\u2019s social media post revealing the alleged exchange \u2013 which was quickly deleted \u2013 to be authentic<\/u>.<\/p>\n

As the initial post revealing the alleged exchange went viral \u2013 viewed nearly 12 million times as of Monday morning \u2013 Trump scrambled to deny the allegation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is completely fake! I have never reached out to Daniel. In fact, this is scary,\u201d Trump wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X Sunday night, a post he edited three times<\/u> over the course of seven minutes to slightly alter its language. Less than 30 minutes later, Trump took to X again to deny the allegation, this time claiming the alleged screenshots of the exchange were generated with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the fake, AI generated screenshots being circulated online,\u201d Trump wrote in another social media post<\/u>. \u201cI have never spoken to Daniel. He has since deleted his post, which confirms it was clearly fabricated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another 14 minutes later, Trump again took to X to deny the allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis did not happen. They were AI generated. Please be careful with reporting,\u201d Trump wrote<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The progressive media organization MeidasTouch flagged Trump\u2019s multiple edits to his initial post denying the allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe denial took three tries,\u201d the organization wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X to its more than 1.3 million followers.<\/p>\n

Others, like Adam Cochran, a professor and policy consultant, expressed confusion at the specifics of Trump\u2019s denial.<\/p>\n

\u201cClaiming it is AI generated when the guy posted it himself, and the post had a URL that then said \u2018deleted by the author\u2019 is next level stupid,” Cochran wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 300,000 followers.<\/p>\n
