Ryan was not deterred, however, and suggested that the photos or videos might have been &#8220;fixed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the investigation concluding over a year earlier, Ryan continued to push the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/psaki-refuses-to-answer-if-biden-will-stop-lying-about-debunked-georgia-election-law-claim\/\" title=\"Psaki Refuses To Answer If Biden Will Stop Lying About Debunked Georgia Election Law Claim\">debunked claims<\/a>.
