@jmartNYT Look at those pics side by side. They are the exact same. Same piece of paper redacting personal information, same shadow. That's my photo.

"I was one of two reporters to get the first copies of the citation. I immediately took a photo of it. I know it is mine because there was a shadow in my phone and I also used a small scrap of paper from my reporter's notebook to cover up Mr. Gianforte's driver's license information."
