A US Senator has been caught using a fake background during a Zoom meeting which masked the fact he was driving on the same day a bill was introduced in the state which aimed to crack down on distracted driving.
When Ohio State Senator Andrew Brenner dialled into the meeting for the Ohio Controlling Board on Monday he was seen sitting in a parked car.
But then footage of the meeting, which was streamed live, showed Brenner disappearing for a moment and when he returned his background appeared to show him in a home office, surrounded by cabinets and with art hanging on the walls.
