[The Hill] Former President Trump on Sunday suggested that his recent federal indictment comes as a "distraction" for allegations made by House Republicans in their probe into President Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
"It was done for political reasons, but it was also done, I guess, to cover up the kind of a massive crime that’s now being revealed by the Republicans in the House," Trump said of the indictment on the debut episode of his "The Roger Stone Show" on 77 WABC, hosted by the former president’s longtime ally Roger Stone.
"It’s incredible when you look at what happened, when you look at the kind of money that flows into the Biden family, and to Joe Biden, by the way, and so they wanted to do a distraction," Trump said.
House Republicans have long made investigating "the Biden family’s influence peddling and business schemes" and concerns about Hunter Biden’s laptop a priority for their lower chamber majority.
Last week, House Oversight lawmakers reportedly reviewed a document containing an unsubstantiated tip they say alleges Biden, as vice president, engaged in bribery with a foreign national.
