Fox News' Brian Kilmeade said on 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 US 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.
"This is the judge in charge of the, of the, um, as you know, of the warrant, and we'll see if he's going to release it next," Kilmeade said. "He likes Oreos and whiskey."
