Hunter Biden Defends Jill Biden, Targets Trump Children Over $620 Million Loan

3 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · Jun 3

Summary

  • Hunter Biden used an X post on Wednesday to defend Jill Biden after Jake Tapper’s harsh review of her memoir and to accuse Trump’s children of profiting from questionable business deals.
  • Tapper wrote that Jill Biden’s book suggested she was either struggling to accept Joe Biden’s decline or had been enabling it while offering excuses for what the public had seen.
  • Hunter’s broadside cited Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s Albania resort project, Don Jr.’s fund backing a startup that received a record $620 million Pentagon loan, and Eric Trump’s plan to take an Israeli drone company public at a $1.5 billion valuation.
  • CNN said Tapper’s piece spoke for itself, while Kushner’s firm, the Trump Organization and Ivanka Trump’s representatives did not immediately respond; Kushner’s Albania project has already drawn scrutiny from local anti-corruption prosecutors.
