A fantastical story recently appeared on a website familiar to the fact-checkers of PolitiFact.

Real Raw News has published several stories that weve previously debunked, including about former President Donald Trump indicting Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a foiled Trump assassination, and Navy SEALs arresting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Its latest dispatch about Clinton claims that she was hanged on April 26 at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. According to the story, it was the culmination of an operation that started the night the SEALs arrested her.

"After a five-day tribunal at the worlds most infamous detention center, a three-officer panel found Clinton guilty of murder, accessory to murder, treason, child trafficking, and other high crimes," the story says.

This post was flagged as part of Facebooks efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

News of Clintons arrest, let alone killing, would be widely covered by the media. No such reports exist, nor credible evidence to support the idea that Clinton was hanged. The information in this blog post is completely baseless.

In the days since her supposed execution, Clinton has been active on Twitter, including promoting the latest episode of her podcast, "You and Me Both," on April 27.

The previous week, publishers Simon & Schuster and St. Martins Press announced Clinton would co-author a thriller with her friend titled "State of Terror."

Like that forthcoming novel, this blog post is a work of fiction.

We rate it Pants on Fire!
