Washington (CNN)In a new interview published Tuesday, former President Donald Trump called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release any damaging information he has about the Biden family, in a brazen request for domestic political assistance from America's top adversary.
It's the latest example of Trump's willingness to solicit and embrace domestic political help from foreign powers -- even from Putin, who is currently overseeing a bloody war against Ukraine.
In an interview with JustTheNews, Trump pushed an unproven claim about Hunter Biden's business dealings in Russia, and asked Putin to release any information that he might have about the situation. It's not clear that any material exists, or if the Kremlin has access to it.
"I would think Putin would know the answer to that," Trump said, referring to Hunter Biden's potential dealings in Russia. "I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer."

(53,763 posts)What trump's bribery call to Zelenskyy was all about, supposed dirty info on Joe Biden.
trump is do obsessed with the 2020 election still he's unaware that Joe Biden is emerging as the cool hand statesman who rallied NATO, supplied Zalenskyy/Ukraine with weapons, and has now faced down Putin who is getting his ass kicked in trying to take over Ukraine.
This will have rippling domestic effects, even on the mid-terms.

(6,488 posts)that he would appeal to Russia once again for help in the elections. Midterms are coming up. Does he really think that anyone on the planet would believe a thing Russia has to say, including China? Honestly, he lives in some alternate universe. How much money did Russia give him, anyway?
