“One thing, while I’m on your show, since Putin is not exactly a fan of our country right now, let him explain where he did it – because Chris WallaceChristopher (Chris) WallaceChris Wallace: The job at Fox had become ‘unsustainable’ WarnerMedia merger approved by Discovery shareholders CNN announces launch date MORE It leaves me with no question – why the mayor of Moscow’s wife gave Biden both $ 3.5 million ; That’s a lot of money, “Trump told John Solomon and Amanda Head on Real America’s Voice’s” Just the News. “ Trump added: “I would think Putin would know the answer. “I think he should release her.” Solomon, a former opinion writer on The Hill, faced scrutiny of his columns during Trump’s first reference to Ukraine. A review of his columns was then carried out by The Hill, and later commented on in more detail, as it was found that Solomon had not identified significant details about his sources. The former president in the new interview referred to a controversial 2020 Senate GOP report on President Biden and Hunter Biden, which resulted in little evidence of wrongdoing. Trump has repeatedly claimed that Hunter Biden received money from the wife of the late Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov. Politico reported that the former president himself had in fact sought business deals with Luzhkov in the 1990s. Trump’s statements are likely to divide Republicans who want to align with Trump, while remaining strongly opposed to Putin amid a continuing Russian invasion of Ukraine, now in its second month.

I think he is a dictator. I think he is killing people right now,” McCarthy added. The development also comes as the tax crime investigation into Hunter Biden, which began in 2018, progresses, with the Wall Street Journal reporting this week that more evidence is being collected from prosecutors. It is also not the first time Trump has called on a foreign government to harm a political opponent. During the 2016 election, he asked Russia to release an email to former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton Will Kamala Harris be named one of the worst vice presidents in history?

And in 2019, the first trial for Trump’s referral focused on allegations that Trump threatened not to provide military assistance to Ukraine unless President Volodymyr Zelensky investigated the Bidens.
