White House communications director Kate Bedingfield on Wednesday slammed former President Trump for encouraging Russian President Vladimir Putin to release potentially damaging information about President Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
“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 at a press briefing. “There’s only one, and it’s Donald Trump.”
Trump in an interview published Tuesday with Just the News raised an unproven claim that Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million payment from the former wife of an ex-mayor of Moscow.
“I would think Putin would know the answer to that,” Trump said. “I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer.”
Hunter Biden’s legal team previously called the claim he was paid $3.5 million false.
Trump’s appeal to Putin comes as the Russian president directs an invasion into Ukraine that has killed thousands of civilians and forced millions to flee the country.
