Revision history
- Version 2October 6, 2026
The original fact check correctly identified that Senator Markey called for the removal of President Trump via the 25th Amendment in January 2026. The new research demonstrates that this was not an isolated event, as Senator Markey made similar calls later in April 2026 following different presidential statements. The core verdict remains true, but the context of the claim has expanded to reflect multiple instances throughout 2026.
