Fox News is facing backlash for airing old footage of Donald Trump during Saturday’s (March 7) coverage of the dignified transfer ceremony.
The president was criticized for not removing his Trump-branded USA hat at the dignified transfer of six U.S. service members killed in his conflict with Iran. While Fox News initially showed footage from the ceremony, including Trump wearing the cap, they later switched to older footage of Trump at a similar ceremony, without a hat.
