Donald Trump Urges Russia's President Vladimir Putin to Release 'Damaging' Info on Hunter Biden

Former President Donald Trump has called on Russia's President Vladimir Putin to release any damaging information he has about Hunter Biden.

In an interview with "Just the News" on Tuesday, Trump said Putin "should release" any information regarding alleged dealings between Hunter and the widow of a late Moscow mayor.

The former president cited the findings of a partisan and controversial investigation by Senate Republicans into the Bidens published weeks before the 2020 election and "produced little new evidence of wrongdoing," according to Politico.

Trump earlier claimed, without any basis, that the late Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov's widow has donated $3.5 million to a company he alleged to be connected to Hunter, President Joe Biden's son, Axios reported.

Hunter has denied the claims, and his lawyer has denied he was the owner of the company in question. According to Trump, Luzhkov's widow gave Hunter $3.5 million, and he thinks Putin would know the answer to that.

"I think he [Vladimir Putin] should release it... I think we should know that answer," Trump noted in the interview conducted at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Fortune reported that Donald Trump also expressed his desire to learn more about Hunter's relationship with Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky.

Zlochevsky is the owner of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings. The Ukrainian oligarch named Hunter to the company's board as a director of the company's legal unit in 2014.

With that role, Hunter Biden was reported to have earned more than $80,000 monthly.

Donald Trump on Hunter Biden

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Hunter Biden's alleged business dealings with Eastern Europe became a widely discussed topic.

Donald Trump has made it one of his favorite talking points, adding many "dubious claims" during the presidential debates in 2020.

Joe Biden has denied that such a payment involving his son ever took place. During a debate with Trump, he said that the allegations were "simply not true."

Donald Trump has also made a similar public request to Vladimir Putin to find incriminating evidence against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The former president also asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019 to look into Joe Biden and Hunter Biden after allegedly withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine.

The Infamous Laptop of Hunter Biden

The contents of Hunter Biden's controversial laptop were entered into the Congressional Record on Tuesday at the request of Rep. Matt Gaetz, according to New York Post.

The Florida representative has made the move during a hearing on oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Cyber Division after its assistant director, Bryan Vorndran, testified that he did not have any information about Hunter's laptop.

The FBI has seized the laptop from a Delaware repair shop in December 2019. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler initially blocked Gaetz's request, but he gave in a short time later.

The Federalist reported that Hunter's laptop contains emails showing he helped an infectious disease research company pursue projects in Ukraine.

A former business partner of Hunter has confirmed the authenticity of the emails. However, more than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed a letter saying Hunter's emails were Russian disinformation.

It was reported that Hunter Biden helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota. It is a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases that could be used as bioweapons.
