First Lady Melania Trump concluded the second night of the Republican National Convention with a speech in which she said, "Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president."
We certainly haven't received total honesty from President Donald Trump. And we certainly didn't get it on Tuesday night. The convention programming was littered with false or misleading claims, including some from the President's son Eric Trump, as well as a number of other claims that were missing important context.
Here's a look at some of the notable claims from Tuesday night and the facts behind them.
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday attacked Democratic nominee Joe Biden over his son Hunter Biden's position on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. "That very same company was being investigated by a Ukrainian prosecutor. Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States, threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless that same prosecutor was fired. And then, he was fired," Bondi claimed.
In pushing for Shokin's removal, Biden was carrying out US policy that was supported by Ukrainian activists, US diplomats and European allies -- as well as Republican senators like Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is now investigating Burisma and the Bidens.
Hunter Biden in October 2019 said he used "poor judgment" in serving on the board of a Ukrainian gas company because it has become a political liability for his father. But there is no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either Biden, and no evidence Joe Biden has profited from his son's business dealings abroad.

Stopped reading at “CNN Fact Check”
Sorry, CNN. You can spin, but your dog won’t hunt. You will soon be but a distant memory.
Pravda says what?
The Left is in panic mode because they know their convention was pretty much a failure, while the GOP convention has been much more positive and uplifting. Trump is headed for a huge victory. Keep your powder dry.
Where was your fact-checking during the DNC?
Oh my goodness - you want to talk about dishonesty? Pathetic.
CNN Lies.
CNN “fact check” = We don’t agree with you.
LOL.
As others say, the term CNN Fact Check is laughable. The cable network most dedicated to lying, propaganda and partisan slur is such trash.
Good move. The entire thing - yes, the entire thing - is a bunch of lies. They even try to claim Biden doesn’t support government funding of abortion even though he has openly called for abolishing the Hyde Amendment.
Because CNN is my “Go To Place” for fact checking.
such side pickin.. and such lying from a once news agency...
they are now the lying socialist democrats
Have they ever figured out if Trump was spied on or who paid for the Steele dossier?
Keep pushing CNN, there will be major blowback.
So now instead of 7 authors for one BS article it’s “CNN staff”. CNN is not a legitimate news organization I am not sure why people keep posting their trash.
Bondi claimed?
What there isn't factual?
How in the world can these CNN stooges face themselves, their families, their friends?
Wow....talk about being dishonest!
Isn’t there a video of said incident...
Twilight Zone material if ever there was. Fact check my backside CNN
I had to take anti-bribery training for my company last week. Per my company’s definition, Biden took a bribe when young Hunter was given that job by Burisma.
But we already knew that.
