On 28 October 2016, the disreputable web site SuperStation 95 published an article reporting that President Obama had cancelled all upcoming appearances at Hillary Clinton campaign events due to the FBI's announcement that they were reviewing additional emails potentially connected to the Democratic presidential candidate's email server: But SuperStation 95 is not the online arm of any legitimate radio news outlet. Rather, it's a site for the fabricated conspiracy-driven rantings of convicted felon Hal Turner, who was sentenced to prison for threatening to kill three federal judges. SuperStation 95 based their claim that President Obama had cancelled his campaign appearances on a purported screenshot from the web site HillarySpeeches.com, which is not affiliated with the Clinton campaign. And that site dropped several campaign events — not just ones involving President Obama — from their listing for unknown reasons. Furthermore, while SuperStation 95 claimed that President Obama was removed from the list of Clinton campaign appearances late Friday night (28 October 2016), the President was still listed in a cached version of Hillaryspeeches.com from just after midnight the following morning. As of this writing, HillarySpeeches.com has President Obama slated for four campaign events before the 2016 presidential election on 8 November 2016: It's unclear whether Superstation 95 doctored the after Comey's announcement schedule or whether President Obama was briefly removed from the listing for some reason. Regardless, HillarySpeeches.com is not an official outlet of the Clinton campaign, and as of this writing President Obama is still scheduled to make multiple campaign appearances on Clinton's behalf before the 2016 presidential election on 8 November 2016. On 29 October 2016, the day after Superstation 95 falsely claimed that President Obama had removed himself from the campaign schedule, NPR also reported that the president was still scheduled to make multiple appearances in support of Hillary Clinton:
