“If we’re going to hold former Vice President Joe Biden to the same standard that Democrats … are holding to President [Donald] Trump, then Joe Biden certainly did something illegal and unethical when he called for the firing and demanded the firing of a prosecutor in exchange for a billion dollars in aid to Ukraine,” said Pavlich during the Monday episode. “There are a lot of unanswered questions about the extent of the influence and how Hunter Biden used his last name, and certainly there is a reason why Adam Schiff doesn’t want Republicans asking him questions under oath,” she added....

During Monday’s episode of The Five, Watters praised Trump for cancelling the peace talks that were scheduled to happen at Camp David shortly before the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. “I don’t like the symbolism of the Taliban coming to Camp David,” Jesse Watters said. “It’s hallowed ground for American diplomacy and the American presidency.

Cain and his Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy disagreed entirely Monday on how the burden of proof and evidence forces the Trump campaign to prove any and all accusations of alleged voter fraud. Cain echoed George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley’s remarks earlier in the program. “There’s this disconnect between the evidence and the relief being sought,” said Turley. “They’ve shown irregularities, they’ve shown unlawful orders, they’ve even shown thousands of votes that were not counted, but they haven’t amounted to the type of numbers that would change the outcome in a given state....

While speaking on Election Night, Fox News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin was asked about his call in Arizona and if he was 100 percent sure of his call, to which he responded by saying, “absolutely.” “It’s been clear for a while that the former vice president is in the lead in Arizona and was most likely to win the state,” Mishkin said in response. “I think we’ve heard from the White House is that they are expecting to get that they need just to get 61 percent of the outstanding vote and their 870,000 outstanding votes and they’ll be getting that....
