The claim: An image shows Olivia Rodrigo and Joe Biden at a White House press briefing
After 18-year-old pop star Olivia Rodrigo took a trip to Washington to encourage young people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, misinformation emerged online.
The singer-songwriter met July 14 with President Joe Biden and his chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, to participate in a vaccination campaign on social media.
Now, some people are sharing a photo that shows Biden touching Rodrigo's shoulders from behind.
"(White House Press Secretary Jen) Psaki('s) face says it all," one user captioned the photo, which was published July 15 on Facebook.

The photo has gained 2,000 shares. But it's manipulated – Biden wasn't at the press briefing with Rodrigo.
USA TODAY reached out to the Facebook user who shared the post for comment.

The original, unaltered photo shows Rodrigo and Psaki in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room on July 14.
Biden is not in the image, and he does not appear during the entire one-hour news conference.
