Hours after U.S. President Donald Trump described him as "stone-cold crooked," Joe Biden, a leading Democratic contender in the 2020 race for the White House, vowed on Wednesday the Republican president is "not going to destroy me." ... ... Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate Biden and his son Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian company while his father was vice president.

Joe Biden's Ukraine narrative was upended during Monday's “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Fox News host Tucker Carlson presented his audience with a photo of the former vice president and his son Hunter golfing in the Hamptons with Devon Archer, an executive of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. Tucker Carlson revealed this pic tonight from 2014 that shows Biden playing golf w/his son and his son's business partner, Devon Archer, who were both on the board of the Ukrainian gas company at the time Biden said earlier this month that he *never* discussed business w/his son pic.twitter.com/vdeoMNpXpK— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October...

Some of Joe Biden's supporters are voicing growing concern that his campaign is not prepared to weather the dual political rip currents suddenly reshaping the 2020 race - an onslaught of attacks on his family from President Donald Trump and a tightened contest for the Democratic nomination. Several allies, including top financial backers, are weighing whether to create a super PAC to independently defend Biden and go after the president, who has repeatedly accused the former vice president of corruption and whose campaign last week launched a $10 million ad blitz aimed largely at attacking Biden. Other supporters caution that...

Peter Schweizer details the crimes of Hunter Biden and provides the timeline of the crimes, both in China and the Ukraine. Hunter Biden used the Chinese money to purchase duel use technology companies for the Chinese Government and companies charged with stealing U.S. nuclear secrets.

One of the most valuable assets Americans have in Washington, D.C., today is ace investigative reporter John Solomon of The Hill. The publication he works for is definitely in the tank for the Left, but the fact that The Hill continues to provide Solomon with a forum makes it less of a threat to our republic than, say, the BS factories at CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, the Washington Post, et al. Through his extensive contacts, Solomon has uncovered loads of scandal related to “Spygate” — Barack Obama’s blatant attempt to help depose President Donald Trump, which Americans, using...

<p>This is why the former vice president’s promises that this scandal will fade are nonsense. True, the media is doing double-duty on his behalf. Its general line is that Mr. Biden’s conflicts are fine; asking about them is corrupt. We are seeing a lot of stories about how Democrats are determined not to let Republicans “Hillary” Mr. Biden—a historical rewrite that places the blame for Mrs. Clinton’s notorious ethical travails on her rivals. The “fact checkers” are out in force with soothing assurances that there’s no evidence any Biden broke the law.</p>

Sen. John N. Kennedy (R., La.) offered an alternate explanation for Hunter Biden's appointment to the board of Ukraine's largest gas company while his father served as vice president. When MSNBC host Chuck Todd said there was no evidence of impropriety in the arrangement, Kennedy said he didn't believe the company found the vice president's son using the job search website, ZipRecruiter.

Ukraine's former prosecutor general said in a new interview that his investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, was abandoned after turning up no evidence of wrongdoing on Hunter Biden's behalf. Yuri Lutsenko, who resigned earlier this year and now at the center of the scandal surrounding President Trump's efforts to convince Ukraine's president to launch an investigation into Joe Biden, denied that his investigation was ended due to pressure from the Obama administration in an interview with The Washington Post. “From the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, he did not violate anything,” Lutsenko said of...

Late Wednesday evening, ABC News reported that Serhiy Leshchenko, an "advisor" to Ukrainian President Zelensky, claimed that discussing the Biden case was a precondition of him having communications with President Trump. "This issue was raised many times. I know that Ukrainian officials understood." According to ABC News, "The Trump administration’s alleged insistence that the two leaders discuss a prospective investigation into Biden, one of the president’s political opponents, casts his July 25 conversation with Zelenskiy in a new light." Except it probably doesn't. It turns out that Serhiy Leshchenko advised Zelensky's transition team in April, but is no longer an...

Picture the 2020 presidential debate between Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee. The challenger turns to the president and charges: “You asked the Ukrainian president to investigate your opponent’s son’s shady business dealings.” He adds, “you released the transcript of your phone call last year with him in which you said, ‘there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great.’ “And then you said, and I quote, ‘Biden went around bragging that he...

As the Garbage Party and their media sycophants continue to pretend as though President Donald Trump committed some impeachable offense with Ukraine, the real scandal involving that country belongs to former VP Joe Biden. And his son, Hunter Biden. Anyone who is interested in the issue and has an Internet connection has already seen the video where Biden admits that he threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees to the Ukrainian government if then-President Petro Poroshenko didn’t fire a prosecutor looking into a corrupt gas company where Hunter was a $50k-a-month board member. What’s more, presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani...

Release of the transcript of President Trump’s call with Ukraine’s new president makes one thing clear — the Democrats are focusing on the wrong guy. They’re trying to use this episode to impeach Mr. Trump. What the conversation shows, though, is that Mr. Trump was enlisting help to do exactly what he had promised to do, drain the swamp. The culprit on whom to focus is Vice President Biden. The transcript certainly confirms that Mr. Biden was mentioned by Mr. Trump in his call with Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky. And that Mr. Biden’s son, Hunter, was also mentioned. This...

President Donald Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to “look into” former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, during a phone call in July, NBC News’ Pete Williams reported Wednesday. Trump only mentioned Biden once in the July 25 call, which lasted about 30 minutes and produced a five-page transcript, NBC reported. The call with Zelensky is reportedly a central part of the whistleblower complaint that spurred many Democrats to support an impeachment inquiry against Trump.

The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showing him seeking a review of Biden family dealings in the country – but the document does not show Trump leveraging military aid as part of a quid-pro-quo, as Democrats have suggested in pressing forward with impeachment. The transcript, declassified by Trump a day earlier, indicates the call – which Trump made from the White House residence -- took place July 25 from 9:03 a.m. to 9:33 a.m. It begins with the president congratulating Zelensky on his election victory, before Trump...

Joe Biden and John Kerry became close while serving in the US Senate. So their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue. But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elders were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise. Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), created an international private equity firm, anchored by the Heinz family investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The firm was populated by political loyalists and...

Amelia Warren Tyagi is the oldest child and only daughter of rising Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. Despite the inevitable pressure generated by her mother's tremendous success, Tyagi has forged a path for herself as a prosperous author, entrepreneur, and chair of a progressive think tank called Demos. Now, her connections – like Hunter Biden's – are raising eyebrows. Twitchy reports that Demos gave the far-left Working Families Party $45,000 in 2017-2018. That might not seem noteworthy, but the Working Families Party recently endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president, to the surprise of many.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes isn’t sure Americans can trust the transcript of President Trump’s controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, so he turned to Twitter to smear it in advance. Trump announced on Tuesday that he would release the full transcript of the call, in which they reportedly discussed an investigation involving 2020 Democratic hopeful Joe Biden's kin. But the liberal pundit pre-emptively raised doubts about the transcript's veracity, because of how the president “pressures and manipulates” his staff. “Given what we know about how Trump pressures and manipulates civil servants to toe his line, I'm not *quite* sure...
