White House fires back at Trump’s request that Putin release dirt on Hunter Biden

White House fires back at Trump’s request that Putin release dirt on Hunter Biden

The White House on Wednesday fired back at former President Donald Trump after he called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release dirt on Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son.

The White House has mostly dodged questions about Hunter Biden’s alleged business dealings with east European oligarchs, noting that he does not work for the government. But during Wednesday’s press briefing, Communications Director Kate Bedingfield faced the Trump question head-on.

“What kind of American, let alone an ex-president, thinks that this is the right time to enter into a scheme with Vladimir Putin and brag about his connections to Vladimir Putin?” Bedingfield said. “There is only one, and it’s Donald Trump.”

Trump’s latest request comes after he described Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy” in February, rhetoric that falls in line with his tendency to speak favorably of the Russian leader. His latest request for Putin sparked more backlash this week, as Trump leaned into dubious claims about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, alleging that he received millions of dollars from the wife of Moscow’s late mayor Yury Luzhkov, and that Putin could confirm this information.

When leveling the allegations, Trump cited the findings of a report by Senate Republicans, a politicized investigation released before the 2020 election that mainly rehashed public information and added little new to the discussion.

“She gave him $3.5 million, so now I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it,” Trump said in the interview with discredited far-right journalist John Solomon. “I think we should know that answer.”

Hunter Biden, who announced in 2020 that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware had launched an investigation into his tax affairs, has been in headlines this week. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that a federal tax investigation was gaining steam as prosecutors gather information about the sources of his foreign income, and The Washington Post on Wednesday published a detailed report about Hunter Biden’s interactions with a Chinese energy company and its executives. The report noted that the newspaper did not find evidence that Joe Biden personally benefited from the dealings, which took place after he was vice president and before he launched his bid for the White House in 2020.

Trump’s public request for Putin’s help politically isn’t a first. He asked the Russian government in 2016 to hack then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s email server that she used while serving as secretary of State. And the former president was impeached in 2019 over allegations that he withheld military aid from Ukraine unless President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to “look into” Biden and his son Hunter.
