Republican Senator Roger Marshall hyped up a “bombshell” revelation about President Joe Biden on the conservative program ‘Fox & Friends’, claiming that Biden had been reimbursed by his son’s company for a loan.
Host Brian Kilmeade fact-checked Marshall, stating that Biden was being paid back for a truck, leading to an uncomfortable silence.
Marshall insisted it was a bribe, despite the difficulty in seeing how Biden could profit from repaying his son.
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: The smoking gun that people missed is Comer releasing that there was a monthly stipend from a shell company of Hunter's going to Joe Biden.
KILMEADE: He said he was paying him back for a truck

“I think the smoking gun that people missed is Comer releasing that there was a monthly stipend from one of these shell companies of Hunter’s going to Joe Biden! Connecting the dots!” Marshall stated.
Kilmeade said, “He said he was paying him back for a truck.”
“I’m just telling you what he said,” Kilmeade added following silence from Marshall.
Marshall pressed, “But regardless, this smells like a bribe to me!”
“What did Hunter do to earn this money? Uh, nothing at all, and really, this is influence peddling.”
