“Joe Biden’s handlers several days ago agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces but today abruptly reversed themselves and declined. Biden’s handlers have asked for multiple breaks during the debate, which President Trump doesn’t need, so we have rejected that request," said Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh. "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?
Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, called the Trump campaign’s request “absurd” in a call with reporters. She also denied the claim that the campaign had asked for breaks.
"His staff seems concerned that he may not do well tonight and they’re already laying the groundwork for how they’re going to lie about why," Bedingfield said. "It is completely absurd. Of course, he’s not wearing an earpiece and we never asked for breaks."

Biden campaign says they never asked for breaks, Trump campaign says they did.
I think this is all BS from trumps team to try and get the news cycle to (1) move the tax stuff to page 2, and (2) try to paint Biden as old and weak.
US politics. Just distraction tactics by trump's team who are so comfortable lying about anything, big or small, and there is no punishment or follow up bc there will be some new shinny distraction tomorrow requiring oxygen.
