Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), part of the House Republican leadership, even tweeted: "As Vice President Joe Biden sold his influence to the highest bidder. He is unfit to be President of the United States." The White House has dismissed the report as yet another in a long line of failed efforts by Republicans to implicate Biden in illegal activity.

We examined the type of document that has been requested — an FD-1023 form, which is used to record information from a person the FBI considers a "confidential human source" — and what is known about the country allegedly involved. At this point, the claim about Biden can only be labeled as unsubstantiated. For more, read our full report. We're always looking for fact-check suggestions.
