Read our privacy policy The White House has blasted Donald Trump’s request for Russian President Vladimir Putin to release potentially damaging information on President Joe Biden’s son in the middle of the war in Ukraine. Mr Trump raised unsubstantiated questions about Hunter Biden’s former business dealings in Russia, saying: “I think Putin would know the answer to that. Trump’s long-running search for information on Hunter Biden that could be politically damaging to Joe Biden led to the first of his two impeachments, over what presidential aides said was an effort to withhold nearly $400m in military aid to Ukraine and a White House visit unless Ukrainian officials announced investigations into Mr Biden. During his 2016 presidential campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Republican publicly suggested Russian hackers could help find Clinton emails, saying: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails.” Trump’s remarks came the week that a federal judge ruled he "more likely than not" committed a felony by trying to overturn his election defeat on 6 January 2021, and as his business remains under investigation.
