AG Barr On Durham Investigation: ‘I’m Very Troubled By’ What ‘Has Been Called To My Attention So Far’
“For the first time in American history, the police organizations and the national security organizations were used to spy on a campaign and there was no basis for it,” Barr added. “The media largely drove all kinds of sensational claims were being made about the president.

And that has to be looked at.”
Indiana Muslims are appalled by a billboard displaying a list of deeds by the Prophet Muhammad even though it is accurate. – MOSTLY FALSE
In 2017, a billboard went up in Indianapolis which many people found offensive because it made unflattering accusations about Islam's prophet Muhammad, namely that he:
Married a 6-year-old
Owned and traded slaves
Raped women
Beheaded 600 Jews in one day
Had 13 wives, including 11 at one time
Tortured and killed non-Muslims
In fact each of these is found in established and respected Islamic sources. However, most articles in the mainstream media ignored this point and simply took the word n fact, of Muslim community leaders that the billboard is "cowardly," "outrageous," "bigoted," and "untrue."
One might expect better of Snopes. Surely a website for which credibility is everything would do its homework and publish an accurate article with references to the Hadith and Sira... or would it?

The only point conceded as "true" is that Muhammad had eleven wives. The others were dismissed (mostly on the opinion of a Muslim apologist who "can't think" of any reason why they would be true).
Here is how Snopes addressed each "False" or "Undetermined" point and why they are wrong:
