On 3 November 2017, satirical web site ReaganWasRight.com published an entirely fabricated story about the fictional death of a fictional Baltimore woman who had leaked information relating to Robert Mueller's fictional investigation into Bill Clinton's half-brother Roger Clinton, Jr.: Very little about this is true. Roger Clinton, Jr. has not been named in relation to Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, and therefore Fox News did not report that Clinton could face up to 25 years in prison; no woman named Caroline Dans La Ville was found dead in Baltimore in recent weeks, and therefore the Washington Tribune did not write about her. Furthermore, Bob Halley did not say anything about an attack, as there is no D.C. Sheriff Bob Halley. The District of Columbia does not have a sheriff; it has a Metropolitan Police Department and a Chief of Police named Peter Newsham. The photograph included in the story is in fact taken from a 2009 news article about the discovery of a man's body in bushes in Costa Mesa, California. ReaganWasRight.com appears to be affiliated with similar satirical web sites run by Christopher Blair, a purveyor of fake news who writes under several pseudonyms and also operates the Last Line of Defense, FreedumJunkshun, and As American As Apple Pie. The About page on Reagan Was Right shows the same disclaimer as is shown on As American As Apple Pie: The ReaganWasRight.com home page gives this additional disclaimer:
