President Donald Trump laughed with his supporters after launching an attack on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over a story published by the New York Post about his son Hunter Biden.
āBiden is the living embodiment of the corrupt political crass,ā Trump said at his rally in Florida, seeming to mean āclass.ā āAnd you take a look at what heās done. Itās a political class that enriched itself while draining the economic life and soul from our country. Look at whatās happened and now you see it,ā Trump said during a rally in Florida.
He added, āAnd you see it better than ever before and with all of the things that you know that took place, not one question was asked of this guy last night about that. Can you even believe it? Itās the biggest story worldwide. Itās a corrupt family and these people didnāt ask him one single question about it, itās incredible.ā
The crowd began to boo and started to chant ālock him up.ā
Trump chuckled and replied, āItās true.ā
Watch his comments below:
The story published by the New York Post alleges Hunter Biden introduced his father to an executive for Ukrainian energy company Burisma while he was still vice president, as IJR previously reported.
Bidenās campaign denied the report.
āInvestigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as ānot legitimateā and political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing. Trump Administration officials have attested to these facts under oath,ā Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said.
The statement added, āMoreover, we have reviewed Joe Bidenās official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.ā
Trump called for Biden as well as former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be charged with crimes, as IJR previously reported.
