President Donald Trump's campaign wanted a third-party to inspect Democrat Joe Biden's ear at Tuesday night's presidential debate to ensure he wasn't wearing an earpiece, it was revealed hours before the event.
The demand for a 'third party' earpiece inspection emerged after Trump's personal lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, going on 'Fox & Friends' and accusing the 77-year-old Biden of suffering 'dementia.'
Fox News Channel reported the request Tuesday morning as more details surfaced about the negotiations the two campaigns are having with the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Biden's team did not agree to the demand, the channel reported, although it is unclear exactly when it was made.
Trump's campaign volunteered that he would have his ears inspected.
'Joe Biden’s handlers several days ago agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces but today abruptly reversed themselves and declined,' Trump's campaign said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
'On top of the refusal to take a drug test, it seems pretty obvious that the Biden team is looking for any safety net they can find in the hours leading up to the debate. With his 47 years as a failed Washington politician, how much help does Biden want?' the Trump campaign added.

I won’t believe this debate is happening until, well, I see it happening before my very eyes.
Of course Biden is going to wear an ear piece..DUH..Brazille already gave him the questions a month ago, but no one can memorize everything, so either notes are necessary or an ear piece
Just read Biden and Harris released their taxes on day of debate. All timed. Difference being, neither are business owners, developers, hotel owners, employ people.
All timed perfectly for tonight’s debate. Biden will probably say release your taxes or shut up Mr. President.
Let’s face it. Biden is going to cheat any way he can. It’s what Democrats do, and they feel no guilt about it.
Wallace released the debate topics as cover to his giving the debate questions to Biden weeks ago.
I hope the Trump team has deployed electronic countermeasures to jam any attempts to feed Biden answers.
Joe Biden: “Oh yeaaah??!! I wanna know if the President is wearing a codpiece!”
Interesting they agreed and now say no. I worry that Biden will be really juiced up and do well in debate and news tomorrow will be crowing and slapping President around saying he was wrong about slow Joe.
What’s this crap with the Biden campaign, today asking for breaks every half-hour? What does he need those breaks for? This is ridiculous. Is he going to ask for a break every half-hour while he’s meeting with foreign leaders? Nadler wouldn’t give A.G. Barr a 5-minute piss break. Why should Biden be treated any different? Of course they’ll acquiesce to him. Wallace is a putz.
The old coot might not even find the lectern.
I brought that up during lunch today.
As we were discussing the ear piece story.
Another person state that might not be possible because it could potentially interfere with the Secret Service radio communications.
Well, he walks so slow in the 5 minutes it will take to shuffle on stage he'll have time to process that he should approach the lectern in front of him.
“Giuliani claims that Biden has dementia.” In other news, Giuliani claims that water is wet and snow is white.
“Another person state that might not be possible because it could potentially interfere with the Secret Service radio communications.”
Wouldn’t it be funny if someone taped into Biden’s earpiece and started playing “Thank Heavens for Little Girls” and Biden sang along?
Joementia? C’mon man.
