Not what happened, not in the same universe

I mean, no they didn't and these kind of lies need to stop.

That didn't happen. In fact Trump was President when Joe Biden was supposedly doing this according to Musk's Twittergate campaign, which was pure propaganda. (The right's explanation of this, when they even bother, was that the government was a bunch of deep state leftists.)

I don’t know if anyone will accept those sources. They’re the first two I found when looking for it. It could be misleading. The daily wire is obviously incentivized to report bad things about the Biden admin. But, I remember reading similar reports from a variety of sources a few years back, and could probably track those down if it’s helpful.

The Daily Wire and Jim Jordan? Good grief.
