Internet pranksters have successfully been redirecting people searching for information about the upcoming midterm GOP convention to the Justice Department’s website about the Epstein Files.
A website purporting to be the Republican National Committee’s official convention page is one of the top results when searching Google or other web browsers for information about the event. The catch, however, is that it’s a dummy website that simply takes users to the DOJ’s Epstein File dump.
The New York Times reported on the internet sleight of hand on Friday, noting “It wasn’t a hack,” as many first thought.

“The real convention site, at gopconvention.com, remains operational, prominently featuring an outline of Texas and this bold claim: ‘The Golden Age of America Has Just Begun,’” explained the report, adding:
Some users searching for the site on Google, however, were directed to an impostor website — at gopdallas2026.com — that earned a spot much higher in search results than the real site.
Google’s preview of the fake page promises “details about the 2026 RNC Midterm Convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, Sept. 9-10 including registration, VIP experiences.”
The Times’s Kellen Browning added that its “It was not immediately clear who was behind the fake site.”
“An internet registration database, ICANN, showed that the name, address and contact information of the person or group behind the deception had been redacted. An effort to contact the owner through the site’s domain host, GoDaddy, was not successful,” he added.
