Twitter has unearthed a video clip from the 2020 presidential debate where then-candidate Joe Biden said neither he nor his son have ever “taken a penny” from China or any other foreign government.

then-President Donald Trump was throwing the Biden family’s business dealings at his rival, saying “someday you’re going to have to explain” how he allegedly collected over $3.5 million from Russian sources.
“Joe got three and a half million dollars from Russia, and it came through Putin because he was very friendly with the former mayor of Moscow, and it was the mayor of Moscow’s wife, and it was three and a half million dollars. Your family got three and a half million dollars, and someday you’re going to have to explain… I never got any money from Russia,” Trump claimed.
President Trump was referencing a deal worth $3.5 million that was paid to Hunter Biden’s consulting firm Rosemont Seneca Thornton. The Senate GOP reported on the deal during the final stages of the 2020 presidential election.
Biden shot back, “I have never taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life.” But he got tangled up when going further by claiming that Hunter never made money from business dealings within China, a claim that is directly at odds with findings in the ongoing congressional investigation.
“My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about? China. I have not made money from China. The only guy who’s made money from China is this guy,” said Biden as he pointed to Trump. “He’s the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.”
“There’s no basis for that. Everyone investigated that. No one said what he did was wrong in Ukraine,” Biden added.

It’s just fascinating that if the topic of foreign money comes up, Joe automatically has to run down the list of Russia, China, Ukraine. He’s got his hands everywhere.
I’m sure President Retard has an excuse for taking all those bribes and selling out America 😏
Why give an excuse when he can just lie about it?
I don’t remember this specific incident, but I have little doubt that the moderator stepped in and scolded Trump for making false allegations.
Being a Biden means never having to explain a thing.
