President Joe Biden is facing questions about allegations he took part in a bribery scheme.
During a press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked the president about Congressional Republicans’ claim there is “damning evidence” he sold out the country.
“Do you have a response to Congressional Republicans?” he asked.
Biden responded with three words, asking, “Where’s the money?”
“I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarky,” he added.

Earlier on Thursday, House Republicans reviewed a document from the FBI, known as an FD-1023, that they allege presented evidence of a bribery scheme.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told Fox News Digital she believed the document contained “damning evidence the sitting President of the United States sold out his country in an ongoing bribery scheme.”
“The American people and media deserve to see the evidence. We should follow the facts,” she added.
During a Thursday appearance on Fox Business, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted Biden for his response to the question about the bribery allegation.
“We just heard Joe Biden demonstrate the absolute smugness of being insulated by the most politically corrupt Department of Justice in history, and the most politically corrupt corporate media in history,” Cruz said.

He went on to suggest the Department of Justice is not looking into the matter. He said the FD-1023 document is reportedly based on a “credible informant who the FBI had relied on for previous investigations.”
Cruz noted the informant accused Biden of taking a $5 million bribe while he was vice president involving a “foreign nation that was not China.”
