JOIN TPM FOR JUST $1

Rudy Giuliani, the attorney for President Trump at the center of the blossoming scandal surrounding Trump and a phone call with the Ukrainian president, disparaged former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Monday and promised more dirt on the Biden family this week.

During an interview with Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo on Monday morning, Giuliani referred to Biden’s son Hunter Biden as “drug challenged” before floating that he had more news on the Biden family that he intended to release in the coming days.

“There’s a lot more evidence I’m going to put out. I put one out for today, money laundering. I’ve got a bigger one for tomorrow and the day after,” he said.




Giuliani has made unsubstantiated claims in recent months about the Biden family’s ties to Ukraine and China, peddling phony allegations that Joe Biden used his political influence to help his son financially. Those allegations are at the center of a whistleblower complaint that sparked a battle between Congress and the White House. Reports surfaced late last week that President Trump allegedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden. Trump acknowledged Sunday that “corruption” came up during a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in late July.

He had to leave the Navy because of drug use. Plenty of other stories that have been published in mainstream media, but I think I will not link to them.

4. Yes. I fear he may be in a fragile state, and these personal attacks could be devastating.

Not to mention the effect they will have on Joe.

Fuck these cruel assholes. They will not hesitate to destroy the Biden family.

It explains why Joe Biden took a long time to come to the decision to throw his hat into the ring. It's possible that Hillary was prepared to do the same thing if Biden had decided to run in 2016.

At least, during prime time? I never see him there. Now, CNN is a different story.

severe problem with the opioid epidemic. Going after Joe's son is goign to be like going after their own family. Keep it up Rudy.

in the event Biden became our nominee, but it was prematurely outed by the scandal? It is LAME AS HELL but maybe they thought this was some kind of election dynamite. I just think it's a losing gambit for them no matter how you slice it and now if we can turn it to our advantage we can kick their butts to Neptune.

Could it possibly be a good thing that they've been forced to double down on such a weak attack so early in this election? This will die a natural death long before the conventions, I think.

I suspect this was supposed to stay hidden until they knew Biden was the nominee

What they're throwing out now seems motivated by anger more than anything

They play so disgusting and dirty, there is nothing they won't do to stay in power. I am hoping people will see their desperation and be sickened and turned off by it.

You're going there considering how many meds Donnie must be taking to try to damp-down his dementia symptoms for each public appearance?
