On Wednesday, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy had a question for President Joe Biden.
But President Biden didn’t want to answer questions about the testimony from one of his son’s business associates.
Doocy approached Biden during his visit to a New Mexico wind farm.
“There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business with them,” Doocy said. “Is that –”
“I never talked business with anybody,” Biden snapped. “And I knew you’d have a lousy question!”
Doocy followed up, “What makes it a lousy question?”
“Because it’s not true,” Biden concluded, curtly.
Doocy signed off, “Thank you, Mr. President.”
Biden has sparred with Doocy before. He called Doocy a “stupid son of a b***h” on a hit mic last year, after a question about economics.

In his question Wednesday, Doocy was referring to Devon Archer’s closed testimony to the House Oversight Committee.
Archer testified last month that Hunter Biden was selling “an illusion of access to his father.” He admitted that Hunter’s mentions of his father “brought most value to the brand.”
“[Hunter] would not be so overt,” Archer testified, according to the House’s transcript. “He would not say, okay, we’re going to — we’re — you know, I’m overtly — we’re going to use my dad for this. But I think he would — you know, given the brand, I think he would look to, you know, to get the leverage from it.”
Archer continued, “If his dad calls him at dinner and he picks up the phone, then there’s a conversation. And the, you know, the conversation is generally about the weather and, you know, what it’s like in Norway or Paris or wherever he may be.”
The White House has long denied the allegations that Joe Biden has ever been “in business” with Hunter.
“The president was never in business with his son,” White House press secretary Jean-Pierre said in July. “So, I’ve been asked this question a million times. The answer is not going to change. The answer remains the same… I don’t have anything else to add.”
