Fact Check: Did Police Take Locals' Social Media Details for JD Vance Team?
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Multiple posts have gone viral on X this week sharing claims that a U.K. police department asked residents of a small English village for their social-media details, to pass on to U.S. Vice President JD Vance's security team. Vance is currently on vacation in the U.K. and spent several days staying near Dean, a hamlet in the Cotswolds, which is a popular getaway spot in the south west of the country. Thames Valley Police and a spokesperson for Vance have denied the claims. The Claim In an August 9 article, U.K. newspaper The Observer quoted an unnamed dog walker and resident of Dean as saying, "We have had the police knocking on every door. They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people." On August 12, Marc Owen Jones, a professor at Northwestern University in Qatar specializing in disinformation and digital authoritarianism, shared the article on X, alongside a post saying, "The police are asking local Cotswolds residents for their social media handles to be passed onto to JD Vance's security detail." Jones' post had 1.9 million views as of Thursday morning, and the claim was also covered on August 13 by The News Agents, a current affairs podcast co-hosted by veteran journalist Jon Sopel.

"No officers were instructed to ask residents about their social media accounts or use, and we have received no complaints regarding this," the spokesperson said. "To reduce local impact due to temporary road restrictions during the visit, we held brief courtesy conversations with residents to understand their access needs and facilitate safe movement." "It was made clear that participation was entirely voluntary and that responses would not be shared outside the police force," they added. William Martin, Vance's communications director, called the claims "fake news" in a post on X, adding, "local police went on the record saying that they did not ask for details of anyone's social media. Neither did U.S. Secret Service." Newsweek contacted Vance's office, via email, for further comment. On Wednesday, Jones shared a quote from another article on X acknowledging the police department's denial. That post had 58,000 views as of Thursday morning. The Ruling False. Thames Valley Police said residents were not asked for their social-media details. Officers had discussions with locals about logistics ahead of the vice president's visit, and no details were shared outside the police department. FACT CHECK BY NEWSWEEK

See live results for Minnesota special primary election to choose candidates to fill slain Rep. Hortman's seat
Nearly two months after a Minnesota lawmaker was assassinated, a special primary election is being held to choose the DFL candidate for her seat. Vance Boelter is charged in the killings of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, as well as the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who both survived. There are four candidates with their names in the hat for the special election in Melissa Hortman's district, 34B — three Democrats and a Republican. On Tuesday, voters will select which DFL candidate they want to see on the ballot next month for the special election. Voters will pick from current City Councilmember Christian Eriksen, Hennepin County prosecutor Erickson Saye and former Brooklyn Park City Councilmember Xp Lee. The winner will square off against Republican candidate and real estate agent Ruth Bittner, who is running unopposed. Melissa Hortman won the district in 2022 and was reelected in 2024, but served 11 terms in the Minnesota House since first being elected in 2004. District 34B has been a blue seat since the 2018 election. It encompasses parts of the northern Twin Cities metro, including parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. State law dictates that the seat must be filled before the next legislative session. The special election will be held Sept. 16. See election results below (results will populate after polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday):Eric Henderson contributed to this report.
