Fox News host Bret Baier and Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume discussed the bribery allegations swirling around President Joe Biden on a Monday episode of “Special Report.”

Hume joined Baier to share his thoughts about the comments by a whistleblower that then-Vice President Biden allegedly traded foreign policy decisions in exchange for cash. The purported whistleblower documents allegedly claim Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme.

Hume said that he’s unsure the public will ever see the FBI memo which reportedly details the alleged bribery scheme. Hume suggested that the allegations could be a “sleeper issue” for the campaign. He claimed many people harbor suspicions on how Biden was able to afford his lifestyle on his salary.

“But I do think this, Bret. This idea of Biden as a crook, as a guy who might have accepted bribes is a kind of a sleeper issue for this campaign. Biden lived in Delaware and elsewhere, at least in two places in Delaware, I should say, very well for a man living on a government salary as a senator all those years and then vice president. And there’s a lot of people been curious about how he seemed to get so rich,” Hume said. “We don’t really know. You know, we know about the activities of Hunter Biden to some extent. Those matters are still under investigation. And this document, if it is what it’s cracked up to be, raises a new question of whether he might – for the president, the vice president as he then was, accepted a bribe. That’s a big deal.”

The two then pivoted to a discussion about former FBI director James Comey. Comey recently sat down for an interview with former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki on her MSNBC show. Comey praised Biden, claiming the President is “committed” to the values of the country and the rule of law. The former FBI director told Psaki there is “no one else but Joe Biden.”

Hume slammed Psaki’s interview, claiming she gave Comey softball questions and then accused the former FBI director of “obvious and repeated” misconduct.

“That was Jen Psaki, the Biden former press secretary doing the interview. You know, no challenging questions. I don’t know why anybody would be consulting James Comey these days about fidelity to the rule of law, especially in light of the findings you showed on the Durham investigation. The whole thing is really quite remarkable. I mean, you got one Biden supporter talking to another, and this is what you get, with no challenging questions about Comey’s obvious and repeated misconduct over the past some years when he was FBI director. Remarkable.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
