**Viral News Snippet:**
**🚨 BREAKING: Pam Bondi's "Secret" DOJ Memo Leaked—Claims 2020 Election "100% Rigged" by "Deep State"**
**Is it real?** ❌ **FAKE.**
**The claim:** A leaked memo allegedly written by former Florida Attorney General and Trump ally Pam Bondi is circulating on Telegram and far-right forums.

4. **No court actions have materialized:** Despite the document’s claims that charges were imminent, no such filings have been made in any court in the three states mentioned (Pennsylvania, Georgia,
