President Biden was scorched by commentators across Twitter on Thursday after he responded to a question about an alleged bribery scandal with a joke.
Biden has been under scrutiny for behavior that allegedly took place during his tenure as vice president under Barack Obama. House Oversight Committee members were approached by a whistleblower who said the FBI was in possession of a document in 2020 indicating Biden had been involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national in exchange for influence over policy decisions while vice president.
On Thursday, Biden was asked by a reporter for comment about how Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., a member of the House Oversight Committee investigating the president, had told Fox News Digital on Thursday there is "damning evidence the sitting President of the United States sold out his country in an ongoing bribery scheme."
Biden responded by asking, "Where's the money?" and then going on to say, "I'm joking. It's a bunch of malarkey."
