Coming from a source like CNN (and a verified Twitter account), we expect this story to be true. Will we use the Trails tool to investigate it further: possibly, to back up our assumption that it is true, and also to see how it spread on Twitter and which users influenced the discussion.
Explore this story with the Trails system!
