Trump asks Putin to help dish dirt on Hunter Biden

Donald Trump calls on Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched an invasion of Ukraine last month, to reveal any compromising information he might have on US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
The former Republican president returns to accusations he repeated many times during his unsuccessful campaign against Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
In an interview excerpt broadcast Tuesday by Real America’s Voice “Just the News” show, Trump claims that the wife of the mayor of Moscow gave $3.5 million to Hunter Biden.
“That’s a lot of money,” he says. “She gave him $3.5 million so now I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it.”
“I think we should know that answer,” he adds.
Trump has long claimed, without providing evidence, that the younger Biden received the funds from Elena Baturina, wife of the late Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov, in a bid to curry favor with Joe Biden.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in 2019 for trying to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into digging up what he alleged was compromising information on Biden’s son, who had once worked for a Ukrainian energy company.
