Mary Trump said it was "enormous hypocrisy" for her uncle to blast the January 6 committee and the New York attorney general for targeting his kids.
The House select committee is looking into the Capitol riot. The New York attorney general is investigating the Trump Organization's financial dealings.
As part of the investigation, Eric Trump was subpoenaed.
Donald Trump told The Washington Examiner in an interview that it was unfair for his children to be included in the investigations.
It's a disgrace what's happening. They're trying to get people's minds off how bad our country is. They don't care. Trump said they'll go after children.
Trump's children have been closely involved with his business and political dealings. During her father's presidency, she was a senior adviser. Donald Jr. and Eric are both executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization.
During an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, Mary Trump was asked about her uncle's comments.
Mary Trump pointed out the hypocrisy of this man, who went after and continues to go after Hunter Biden, who last I checked never worked for the federal government.
She said that despite Trump's defense of his children, she believes he will throw anyone under the bus if he believes it's in his best interest to do so.
Hunter Biden is the son of President Joe Biden. The first impeachment of Trump was sparked by a phone call in which he pressed the president of Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son.
In a presidential debate in September 2020, Trump pressed Biden on claims involving Hunter, leading to chaotic discourse as Biden denied the allegations and Chris Wallace tried to stop Trump from talking over him.
The theories about Hunter were based on a laptop that contained lurid details and explicit images of his private life.
Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere have stirred up controversy, but he has not been accused of wrongdoing. Ukrainian officials said they found no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden or Trump.
