Conservative commentator Mark Levin accused Fox News anchor Ed Henry of being dishonest about President Trump’s controversial phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his appearance on Fox & Friends Sunday.
Trump, during the July 25 phone call in question, requested that Zelensky open up a new investigation into Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who worked for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. The company has been investigated for corruption in the past, but the younger Biden was never implicated in any wrongdoing.
Levin was quick to point out during his appearance that the president “didn’t do anything illegal.”
“So, you’re okay with the president asking another president to dig up dirt on a candidate, you’re okay with that?” Henry asked.
Levin responded, “Dirt on a candidate? What dirt are you talking about? He didn’t ask for it — are you reading the same …”
The host repeated his question, “Are you okay with a president asking his counterpart — this is a simple yes or no — to dig up dirt on former vice president Joe Biden and his son? Are you okay with that?”
“Your question is not honest,” Levin shot back.
The two then continued to argue until Henry read from the transcript of the conversation between the two world leaders.
So great Mark! https://t.co/GbwEnkFmwe

Trump weighed in on the heated moment on Twitter. He tweeted a clip of Levin’s segment and also retweeted 19 people who praised Levin’s comments directed at Henry. The president also tweeted, “So great Mark!”
