Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is denying a report that a staffer and contract attorney in his office watched a deepfake pornographic video involving a state lawmaker’s wife. Beckwith called the story, published by 24sight News, a “hit piece” and said he conducted his own internal investigation after learning about the claim over the weekend. “The first I heard of this was over the weekend,” Beckwith told WIBC. “They call us and they say, there’s people in your office apparently back in April that saw a deepfake video about a representative’s wife and laughed about it and never reported it.” Beckwith said no one ever told him the video was shown in his office and pushed back on the 24sight News report by journalist Tom LoBianco. “That’s not true. Never happened,” Beckwith said
