Donald Trump told Fox News‘ Laura Ingraham that President Joe Biden had been ruled „incompetent to go to court.“
Donald Trump’s interview with Fox News‘ Laura Ingraham on Tuesday was littered with misinformation and controversy, which included comparing himself to deceased Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The former president compared his fraud ruling in New York to Navlany’s persecution, telling Ingraham: „It’s a form of Navalny, it’s a form of communism or fascism.“
Among Trump’s other claims, he said President Joe Biden had been ruled „incompetent to go to court“ and couldn’t „represent himself“ at trial.
The Claim
In an interview with Fox News‘ Laura Ingraham, broadcast on February 20, 2024, Donald Trump said: „He’s (Joe Biden) at great jeopardy, really, but they said: ‚Look, he’s incompetent to go to court but he can be president.‘
„Figure that one. In other words, he can’t represent himself at court because he’s incompetent.“
The Facts
Trump appears to be referring to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s recent report into Biden’s handling of classified documents.
Hur’s report did not say that Biden was „incompetent to go to court.“ A similar claim, made by Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, was recently debunked by Newsweek.
