Jonathan Turley: Biden's latest gaffe may come back to 'haunt' him
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley weighs in after President Biden falsely claimed his student loan relief plan had been 'passed.'
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley criticized President Biden after he falsely claimed his student loan forgiveness plan had been "passed" by Congress.

BIDEN'S LATEST GAFFE ON STUDENT LOAN BAILOUT PLAN MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM
JONATHAN TURLEY: The administration is now perfectly incoherent. There should have been a vote in Congress.
