Addressing an election rally in the battlefield state of Iowa, Mr. Trump said: “They closed his account. She is the press secretary for the White House. Because you are reporting the truth, they closed your account. So let’s see what’s going to happen. We have just learned from explosive documents published by an excellent newspaper, the New York Posthat Joe Biden has been blatantly lying about his involvement in his son’s corrupt business. ”
“And this is a big smoking gun. The newly discovered emails revealed that a highly questionable senior Ukrainian company executive is an energy company, paying Hunter at least $ 50,000 a month, but now it looks like it could be $ 183,000 a month and that’s a lot of money “. alleged.
Although she had absolutely no experience and knew nothing about energy, she wrote to Mr. Hunter, arranging a meeting to meet former Vice President Joe Biden, she claimed.

“We have known it for a long time. The fact is, there has never been an administration more corrupt than the Obama-Biden administration. Just a few weeks ago, Joe appeared before the American people in a presidential debate and told them that these claims had been totally discredited and that his son did nothing wrong. But now that turns out to be a total lie. Now we can clearly see that Mr. Biden is a corrupt politician who should not even be allowed to run for president, “he said.
