President Donald Trump accused former Vice President Joe Biden of fielding scripted questions during his Tuesday press conference in Wilmington, Delaware.
“Biden was asked questions at his so-called Press Conference yesterday where he read the answers from a teleprompter,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “That means he was given the questions, just like Crooked Hillary. Never have seen this before!”

Biden’s Tuesday press conference marked the first time he fielded questions from reporters in a public fashion since before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the the country, but some rejected Trump’s claim.
Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary for former President George W. Bush, said that though he “was critical of the press for the softball questions they threw to Biden,” the former vice president did not receive the questions ahead of time.
“This did not happen” he wrote. “The questions were spontaneous and Biden did not read his answers from a teleprompter.”
