No, it's not true.
You can tell it's not true, because if MITM certs signed by trusted root CAs were being issued, they'd appear in Certificate Transparency logs.
Although mis-issued certificates have happened [1] it is very rare, and convincing a root CA to intentionally issue you such a certificate would be very, very far from trivial.
