In the forthcoming debate with President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to spotlight the ongoing legal issues of Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
The inaugural debate between the two political heavyweights is slated for June 27, moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash at the network's Atlanta headquarters.
This debate is strategically timed, preceding Hunter Biden's federal trial on gun charges by a mere few weeks. According to insiders close to Trump, who spoke to the New York Post on condition of anonymity, the Republican nominee plans to deflect questions about his own legal entanglements by focusing on Hunter Biden and his father's association with him.
The sources divulged, "Either Joe or the CNN moderators will try and bring up one of Trumps legal cases thats sort of a given and Trump will throw it right back at them about Hunter Bidens ongoing legal troubles and all the evidence that Joe lied during the last debate when he said his son never took money from China." They further added that this tactic is a "full proof defense and way to make Biden pay."
This revelation comes amidst Special Counsel David Weiss's recent emphasis on Hunter Biden's laptop as crucial evidence in his impending legal battles. In a prosecution filing on Wednesday, Weiss declared, The defendants theory about the laptop is a conspiracy theory with no supporting evidence. He further clarified that the laptop is real (it will be introduced as a trial exhibit) and it contains significant evidence of the defendants guilt.
Given these circumstances, Trump seems prepared to exploit Hunter Biden's legal predicaments as a key talking point in the upcoming debates, with the aim of undermining the credibility and political stature of the Biden family.
In addition to his gun charges, Hunter Biden is also facing a trial for tax evasion charges, scheduled for September 5, just days before the second presidential debate. This sequence of events could potentially provide additional fodder for Trump's debate strategy.
