Trump previews attacks against Hunter Biden ahead of presidential debate
As Trump and Biden prepare to face off on the debate stage, Trump has previewed a line of attack against his Democratic opponent: Hunter Biden's legal woes.
As Donald Trump and Joe Biden prepare to face off on the debate stage, Trump has previewed one line of attack against his Democratic opponent in a long-running feud over the former president’s attempts to tie Biden to his son’s foreign business dealings.
Hunter Biden’s struggles have been elevated in recent weeks by his felony conviction in a gun trial — proceedings that led Republicans to take a victory lap when government witnesses confirmed the authenticity of his abandoned laptop computer, materials from which have stoked GOP claims that he spent years profiting off his proximity to his father.
Now, Biden and Trump are poised to face off for the first time since 2020 in a debate hosted by CNN at its Atlanta studio, with Trump suggesting he will reprise the attack line.
“It wasn’t Russian disinformation. It was a made-up story for election interference purposes,” Trump said at a recent conservative conference. “I assume we’re going to be talking about that at the debate.”
There will be no in-person audience for the 90-minute debate, a dynamic that threatens to upend expectations.
