## Resource

A fake GOP convention site for Dallas 2026—complete with Trump’s face and a legit-looking domain—was secretly redirecting visitors to the Justice Department’s Epstein files. It stayed live, ranking high in Google searches, until users noticed the glitch and it was swiftly taken down. The real convention site, gopconvention.com, has been around since the 2000s. No official parties have spoken out, but the hoax was exposed via social media and archived web data. A stark warning: always verify URLs before clicking—especially during big political events.
