Ghislaine Maxwell's trial begins next week, and a Twitter account named @TrackerTrial (ID 1327007938821709826) has gone viral with a false claim that major media is not covering the case (which it of course wants everyone to follow on its Substack instead).

The claim that major media organizations are ignoring the Maxwell trial is easily refuted with a simple Google search, which reveals that AP, The New York Times, Bloomberg, NPR, Reuters, The New York Post, and CNN (among others) have all covered the trial within the last week.
Interestingly, despite having been created back in November 2020, @TrackerTrial's first tweet is from November 2021, a year later. Things are not quite as they seem, however. . .
As it turns out, @TrackerTrial wasn't always named @TrackerTrial. Back in Dec 2020, it was named @hermanhugh69 and used a stolen profile pic. It then changed names to @WSBMonitor and tweeted about stocks for a while before deleting all tweets and renaming itself to @TrackerTrial.
As always, be wary of random "breaking news"-style Twitter accounts that position themselves as sources of news on controversial topics, especially ones that attempt to deter you from checking other sources of information.
