There is no evidence that the swastika came from the Trump campaign. A Barnwell County official told PolitiFact that the sign had been tampered with, and a Trump spokesman told USA TODAY that the sign was “fake.” A local GOP official said the close-up images suggest the logo was a sticker placed over a legitimate campaign sign.

As of October 10, Trump’s conviction in his criminal case for hush money had not been “overturned.” He faces a separate civil fraud judgment of nearly $500 million and has posted a bond of $175 million, but has not received any of that money “back.” While the justices heard arguments in September on his appeal of that ruling, they did not rule before the post was shared.
