Fact check: Trump’s false claim on Melania photo

It is illegal for the Cruz campaign to coordinate with the super PAC. So what Trump is suggesting would violate federal regulations.

And there’s no evidence that the Trump campaign has provided to back up the accusation. (We contacted the campaign and haven’t received a response.) We also contacted Condé Nast Britain, which publishes British GQ, and a spokesman told us that the magazine no longer owns the rights to the photos of Melania Trump. “To confirm, British GQ has no rights any longer in relation to these photographs,” Richard Pickard, acting publicity manager for Condé Nast Britain, told us in an email.

We then contacted the photographer, New York-based Antoine Verglas, who confirmed in an email that he was the only one who had the rights to the photo now. We asked if anyone had contacted him about buying the rights to the photo. Verglas responded: “No not anyone.”

He told us he hadn’t given permission to have the photo used by the super PAC and had not been in touch with the super PAC about it. “It basically constitutes a violation of my intellectual property,” Verglas told us. “This shooting was only supposed to appear in gq UK magazine and its website. I am looking with my attorney at different options.”

So ...where did they get the photos?

Jeff Roe has a history for playing "dirty" and doing this type of thing. He was the mastermind of sending out the Ben Carson is leaving the race, vote for Ted email. That he would get the photos and pass along to the PAC is typical of Jeff Roe.

And Ted Cruz would condone it.

Ted Cruz couldn't wait to run for POTUS because he is a power=hungry arrogant individual. He is the product of a dysfunctional family...and it shows!
