Reporters get odd surprise calling White House — as 'Epstein Island' pops up
Washington Post reporters got an eyebrow-raising surprise when calling the White House this week: some phones labeled the number as “Epstein Island.”
“It was not a wrong number,” the outlet reported Friday. “That’s what the phone displayed when some Washington Post journalists called the White House switchboard.”
The strange label appeared on some Android devices, particularly Google Pixel phones, while iPhone users saw no name at all. After being alerted, Google said the issue stemmed from a manipulated listing in its system.
