Hunter Biden made money from Russia, China: Trump

Washington: Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter received a large sum of money from Russia and China, President Donald Trump has alleged and said that the mainstream media is “underplaying” the story.

“It’s hard to believe, when you see the kind of money that he (Hunter) has made from China, from Russia, where the wife of the mayor of Moscow gives him three-and-a-half million dollars and nobody even has any question about it,” Trump told reporters at a White House news conference on Sunday.

According to a Senate Republican report released last week, during Biden’s tenure as vice president, Hunter, 50, received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the widow of Moscow’s former mayor Yury Luzhkov.

The report further alleged that Chinese nationals lavished Hunter and other members of the Biden family with money, giving Hunter and Biden’s brother James credit cards for $100,000 international shopping spree.

“Joe Biden was in on it…There’s no way that he wasn’t. And (Hunter) uses Joe Biden’s plane – Air Force Two. Uses Joe – and they go to China, and then he comes back, and he never mentioned it to his father that he just got a billion and a half dollars?” Trump said.
