Trump Official Accused PEPFAR of Funding Abortions in Russia. It Wasn’t True.
Title: Trump Official Accused PEPFAR of Funding Abortions in Russia, but the Claim Was False Summary: A Trump administration official accused the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) of funding abortions in Russia.

The accusation was made despite the lack of evidence and the program's withdrawal from the country years ago. The false claim highlights the spread of misinformation and the need for fact-checking, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like reproductive healthcare and international aid programs.
