US President Donald Trump on Monday shared an AI-generated video of showing former President Barack Obama being arrested.
The AI video that was shared on Trump's Truth Social platform shows the former President being arrested by FBI agents in the Oval Office at the White House.
In the clip Obama is heard saying "especially the President is above the law," followed by a montage of various US leaders asserting, "no one is above the law."
The video also shows two FBI agents handcuffing Obama in the Oval Office while Trump watches from the sidelines with a grin.
The video ends with shots of Obama dressed in an orange jumpsuit sitting, and pacing inside a jail.

"No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it."

On Thursday night, the White House social team had posted a poster replacing actor David Corenswet with Trump in the new movie 'Superman.' It read "A Trump presidency," at the top followed by the slogan: "Truth. Justice. The American Way." The accompanying caption referred to "Superman Trump" as the "Symbol of hope.
