WATCH: Joe Biden caught on video calling reporter ‘stupid son of a b****’; apologises afterwards

Jan 25 2022

79-year-old United States President Joe Biden is making international headlines after being caught swearing at a reporter during a news conference.

In a reaction to Fox News’ Peter Doocy’s question whether or not inflation is a political liability, Biden stated “That’s a great asset – more inflation. What a stupid son of a b****.” The U.S. President probably did not realise that his microphone was on, with the equipment being turned off immediately after the reaction.

Doocy later explained that he did not even hear the president’s response and jokingly alluded to the fact that White House Communications Officials had been signalling that they were planning to take a different approach with reporters.

The reporter then stated that Biden called him on his phone to ‘clear the air.’

What do you caused the President to say such a thing?

Five men have been charged with abducting a man from his garage in Rabat on Friday after the man allegedly robbed them of their vehicles.

The suspects have also been charged with holding the man against his will, stealing a mobile phone and €1,000 cash, criminal conspiracy and threats beyond provocation. After he was initially kidnapped, the abductee escaped from the van and headed towards the nearest police station in Paola to report the crime.

In a Times of Malta report, it was stated that lawyer Giannella de Marco, one of the defence team’s lawyers, asked the prosecution whether the abducted robbed the accused of six vehicles and whether or not they were driving him to a police station. The defence team consisted of lawyers Giannella de Marco, Gianluca Caruana Curran, Franco Debono, Jason Grima, Michael Sciriha, Alex Scerri Herrera, Marion Camilleri and Matthew Xuereb.

The suspects are pleading not guilty and were denied bail due to the gravity of charges.
