On Nov. 5, 2019, the website Daily World Update published an article positing that Alexander Vindman, the White House official who testified against U.S. President Donald Trump as a witness to a call with the Ukrainian president that is the subject of an impeachment inquiry, will be charged as a spy. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: In reality, Vindman did testify against Trump in an ongoing impeachment inquiry that revolves around a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump is accused of having attempted to extract damaging information about a political opponent from Zelensky in exchange for crucial military aid. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
