    Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

      Because it has nothing to do with identity theft? The actors are not attempting to pass by another person for fraudulent purposes. Supporting Trump is not exactly illegal, I guess. I’m sure there are laws that align better with this scenario.
