The campaign of Joe Biden,  the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, responded to President Trump's interview that aired Sunday on "Fox News Sunday" by accusing Trump of lying about the former vice president, who is currently leading in the polls.

Trump took a number of shots at Biden, accusing him of being mentally incapable of being president and taking far-left positions such as wanting to defund police departments

 

“For over a year, Donald Trump and his campaign have cycled through the same self-defeating attacks against Joe Biden and have failed to get traction on a single one," Biden's deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement. "President Trump gave it yet another go on 'Fox News Sunday' this morning. He lurched from smear to smear, all while being forcefully corrected on most, including the lie that Joe Biden wouldn't keep the American people safe and supports defunding the police — which has been fact-checked into oblivion over the last month."

Indeed, host Chris Wallace interjected when Trump said Biden wanted to defund police.

"He does not," Wallace corrected. Trump then referred to the recommendations put forth by the Biden's Unity Task Force made up of his supporters and those of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

"It says nothing about defunding the police," Wallace said, but Trump insisted that Biden wants to defund police.
