In a historic prisoner exchange deal on Thursday, U.S President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed American prisoners Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who had been released by Russia. The released prisoners arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by Biden, Harris, and other top US officials. However, a moment during the event sparked controversy and misleading claims on social media. As the prisoners disembarked from the plane, Biden and Harris addressed the press before meeting with the freed individuals and their families. Shortly after, Biden was seen walking back up the steps of the aircraft. This led to a flurry of online speculation and rumours, particularly on the social media platform X, where users claimed that Biden had mistakenly boarded an empty plane.
