British journalist Piers Morgan on Sunday took to social media to react to a widely circulated picture with Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A photo of the journalist and Maxwell was recently shared on X with a sarcastic caption that read, "Strange body language for someone you barely met once."  

Morgan reacted when AI Chatbot Grok factchecked the photo, saying the photo was real.

"No grok-It's not real. It's been deliberately manipulated from a real photo to create a false impression."

In response to Morgan's clarification, Grok responded, "The original 2013 Getty photo is real and shows a group, but some versions cropped to feature only you and Maxwell, potentially misleading viewers."

Meanwhile, Lawyers for imprisoned British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell, saying a law used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional.

The lawyers filed papers late Friday in Manhattan federal court to try to block the release of documents from a since-settled civil defamation lawsuit brought a decade ago by the late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell. The Justice Department recently asked a judge to lift secrecy requirements on the files.
