Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh claimed in a statement that Biden aides “agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces” but “abruptly reversed themselves and declined,” adding that they also “asked for multiple breaks during the debate.”
The Biden campaign denied both claims, with Kate Bedingfield shooting back on a press call that the earpiece claims were “completely absurd,” adding, “Of course he's not wearing an earpiece, and we never asked for breaks.”
But the Trump campaign embraced the claim, with several campaign staffers questioning why he ostensibly wouldn’t submit to an inspection and tweeting the hashtag “#CheckJoesEars.”
Facebook’s ad library shows the Trump campaign ran several now-inactive ads on Thursday, two days after the debate, claiming Biden was “begging” for breaks and demanding, “CHECK JOE'S EARS!”

The Trump campaign claimed the Biden campaign went back on a pledge to undergo an earpiece inspection before the debate, which the Democrats firmly denied.
