President Donald Trump's campaign wanted a third-party to inspect Democrat Joe Biden's ear at Tuesday night's presidential debate to ensure he wasn't wearing an earpiece, it was revealed hours before the event.
With his 47 years as a failed Washington politician, how much help does Biden want?' the Trump campaign added.
'Biden's handlers have asked for multiple breaks during the debate, which President Trump doesn't need, so we have rejected that request,' the Trump campaign said, echoing Fox's reporting.
The attempt by the Trump campaign to claim Biden would wear an earpiece echoes a 2016 accusation that Hillary Clinton wore one in the form of an 'ear pearl' - to get help during a presidential forum.
In recent weeks the Trump campaign has amplified claims - denied by the Biden camp - that the Democratic candidate uses a teleprompter during interviews.
There's been mixed messaging from Trump world about Biden in the run-up to Tuesday night's first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio.Trump and his allies have tried to push the narrative that Biden's not 'all there,' while at the same time the Trump campaign told lawmakers and their staff Monday that Biden's debating skills shouldn't be underestimated.
Biden and his allies have been calling Trump a racist since Biden launched his campaign.
