Hunter Biden Goes on Offense Against Trump in Fiery Book Preview: Pushed Conspiracy Theories About Me While His Own Kids Pocketed MillionsBy Joe DePaoloApr 2nd, 2021, 9:49 am
After a campaign season in which he more or less served as a pinata at former President Donald Trumps rallies, Hunter Biden is going on the offensive.
In his soon-to-be released memoir which was previewed by ABC News Friday the son of President Joe Biden took dead aim at the man his father replaced. And he even went after the former presidents children.
I became a proxy for Donald Trumps fear that he wont be reelected, Biden wrote. He pushed debunked conspiracy theories about work I did in Ukraine and China, even as his own children had pocketed millions in China and Russia and his former campaign manager sat in a jail cell for laundering millions more from Ukraine.
The campaign manager in question appears to be Paul Manafort who was convicted of tax and bank fraud in 2018 relating to prior work in Ukraine, and later pardoned by Trump. As for the remarks about the Trump kids, Ivanka Trump received trademarks from the Chinese government in 2017, allowing for her company to hold exclusive rights to Ivanka brand jewelry, bags, and spa services. And Donald Trump Jr. was reported to have been paid for a speech at a Russian think tank among other connections between the Trump kids and Russia.

OTOH, sure, unload on the Trump kids. They're the worst! Republicans celebrated them for whatever it is they're accusing Hunter Biden of.

Still, I suspect this will only resurrect a bunch of old stuff that will be used against his father.
