Original Note:
The pictured e-mail is from strategic intelligence firm Stratfor. Their claim Obama spent $65K on party food is baseless. The pictured "FBI" document is fabricated. The referenced Pizzagate conspiracy theory has no basis in fact and has been extensively discredited. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-65000-hot-dogs/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/nov/04/conservative-daily-post/evidence-ridiculously-thin-sensational-claim-huge-/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/08/23/3354030001
