President Biden on Monday denied lying about his son, Hunter Biden's business deal conversations.
Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked the president, "Did you lie about never speaking with Hunter about his business deals?"
"No," Biden replied flatly. Heinrich followed up by asking, "Did you ever speak with Hunter about his business deals?"
It was unclear if the president responded as another reporter shouted a question toward the commander in chief.
