The attack from Trump came after the president brought up a recently released New York Post story regarding emails allegedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Those emails reportedly show that Hunter introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to an executive from a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma.
This was shortly before the controversial firing of a prosecutor who had opened an investigation into the firm, according to the report.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent some time together,” one email reads.
“It’s realty an honor and pleasure.”
