Bedingfield said that an ex-president thinks that this is the right time to brag about his connections to Putin.
The latest request comes after he described Putin's invasion of Ukraine as genius and savvy. The latest request for Putin sparked more backlash this week, as Trump claimed that he received millions of dollars from the wife of Moscow's late mayor, and that Putin could confirm.
The findings of a report by Senate Republicans, which was released before the 2020 election, were used by Trump when leveling the allegations.
She gave him $3.5 million, so I think Putin knows the answer to that. In an interview with John Solomon, Trump said that he should release it.
Hunter Biden, who announced in 2020 that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware had launched an investigation into his tax affairs, has been in the news this week. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that a federal tax investigation was gaining steam as prosecutors gather information about the sources of his foreign income, and The Washington Post published a detailed report about Hunter Biden's interactions with a Chinese energy company and its executives. The newspaper found no evidence that Joe Biden personally benefited from the dealings, which took place after he was vice president and before he launched his bid for the White House in 2020.
Trump's request for Putin's help politically isn't a new one. He asked the Russian government to hack Hillary Clinton's email server, which she used as secretary of State. The former president was impeached in 2019: he was accused of withholding military aid from Ukraine unless President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to look into it.
