| UNPROVEN | Claim by Benny Johnson (R): Did Joe Biden meet with Hunter’s associates more than 80 times?
Newsweek rating: Unverified (Benny Johnson’s tweet appears to have been based on a Fox News story which mentions more than 80 interactions that former business associates of Hunter Biden were alleged to have made with the White House. Unlike Johnson’s tweet, the article only mentions a small number of interactions between Biden himself and these people and the nature of those interactions is not spelled out.) Fact Check: Did Joe Biden Meet With Hunter’s Associates More Than 80 Times? |

Claim by Ron Desantis (R): Florida has “the second lowest tax burden per capita in the United States.”

Ron DeSantis is right, Florida has one of the country’s lowest tax burdens |

The Quint rating: False Fact-Check: Has Indian Oil Warned Against Filling the Fuel Tank to Max Limit? |
