President Donald Trump interrupted his own remarks at a Georgia rally Friday to hint at an explosive new scandal involving former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter — but offered few details about what happened.
The moment came as Trump was attacking Biden during his speech in Dalton when he suddenly brought up the former president’s family.
“Oh, did you see what came out today about Joe Biden with his son and Ukraine?” Trump asked.
The president then revisited Hunter Biden’s former position on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, claiming he knew nothing about energy despite receiving millions of dollars.
“But it turned out to be much worse than that,” Trump declared. He then suggested the media was deliberately ignoring the supposed revelation.
“And if the fake news reports that, I won’t bother reporting it, but they got him cold,” Trump said. “They got him cold. What they did was really bad. They got him cold.”
Trump never identified the report he was referencing on Friday or explained what new evidence had emerged.
“So you go home and you’ll probably have a hard time finding the story because they only report about us,” he told the crowd.
