NBC News Calls for Removal of Deepfake Video Shared by Trump Campaign Official

The video, claimed to be a 'parody', features NBC reporter Garrett Haake seemingly insulting Republican primary candidates.

NBC News has demanded that a top Trump campaign official, Chris LaCivita, take down a deepfake video that purports to show NBC reporter Garrett Haake making disparaging comments about Republican primary candidates.
The video, which was shared on social media, begins with authentic footage of Haake but then transitions to a voiceover that insults the candidates.
Despite LaCivita's claims that the video is a 'parody', NBC News lawyers have urged him to remove the video.
It is unclear whether LaCivita created the video himself or if it originated elsewhere.
Legal experts suggest that if the video was created by or at the request of the Trump campaign, it could potentially face a lawsuit.
