Trump asks Putin to provide dirt on Hunter Biden as war in Ukraine rages

Former President Donald Trump called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release information about alleged business dealings President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden has entered with Russian oligarchs.

Trump made his request during an interview with Just the News that will air Tuesday evening, and it comes as Russia wages a war in Ukraine.

Trump specifically referenced a 2020 report from the Senate homeland security and finance committees claiming that in 2014, Elena Baturina, the then-wife of Moscow's mayor, paid $3.5 million to a company linked to Hunter Biden.

"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. "I think we should know that answer.”

"How is it that the mayor of Moscow, his wife gave the Biden family $3.5 million?" Trump reiterated. "I think Putin now would be willing to probably give that answer."

The White House did not respond to inquiries on the subject by press time, but press secretary Jen Psaki has repeatedly declined to answer questions on Hunter Biden's business dealings on the grounds that he doesn't work for the government.
