You claim that Biden denied it because the total was wrong in the question? That’s bullshit. Here is the exchange:
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden whether such payments would incentivize more migrants to try to cross the border illegally.
"If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah," the president said. "But it’s not true."
"So this is a garbage report?" Doocy then asked.
"Yeah," Biden replied. "That's not going to happen."
Either he had no idea about the settlement, or he was lying directly. Not sure which is worse.
