Fact Check: Is White House Foliage Proof Biden Faked a Photo?

Viral social media posts claim that President Joe Biden shared a fake photo of himself boarding Marine One on his way to a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Brussels. The supposed proof for this claim is that the trees seen behind him are green even though most trees in Washington, D.C., haven’t yet grown their spring foliage.

Green leaves can be seen covering the trees in press interactions from the beginning of this month as well.
