A photograph purportedly showing Hillary Clinton wearing a 'secret earpiece' during NBC's 'Commander-In-Chief' candidate forum reveals nothing unusual.
FALSE Origin:On 7 September 2016, a photograph purportedly showing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wearing a 'secret earpiece' during NBC's "Commander-In-Chief Forum" was widely circulated online:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks during a veterans forum aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid September 7, 2016 in New York, New York
This photograph was shared with a wide range of conspiracy theories — some claiming that the image somehow proved Clinton was in poor health, others maintaining it demonstrated she is a puppet of billionaire George Soros — but the most prevalent accusation was that Clinton was wearing an earpiece so her campaign team could furtively feed her answers to moderator Matt Lauer's questions.
Smialowski's image has been cropped to show only Clinton's face (and then blown up back to size), revealing what looks like a small light inside Clinton's ear. However, this "object" can't be seen in other
photographs of the candidate from the same event:
A video of Clinton's appearance on the "Commander-In-Chief" forum can be viewed on . We've captured some additional screenshots from her appearance that show that she is not wearing any external device inside her ear.
The "earpiece" photograph most likely captured a light source temporarily reflecting on Clinton's ear.
