AP Explains: Trump seizes on dubious Biden-Ukraine story
The origins of the story also trace back to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has repeatedly pushed unfounded claims about Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden joined the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma in 2014, around the time his father, then U.S. vice president, was helping conduct the Obama administrationโs foreign policy with Ukraine. Hunter Biden himself has not spoken publicly in the last week, including to confirm whether or not the laptop is his. With two weeks until Election Day and polls showing him trailing Biden, Trump appears to be returning to the subject of his opponentโs family to energize his base. Trump said in an interview with Newsmax that the Post had caught Biden โcoldโ with โseriousโ allegations.
Biden email episode illustrates risk to Trump from Giuliani
Yet Giuliani says foreign sources didnโt provide the Hunter Biden emails. The Biden campaign and a lawyer for Hunter Biden said they had no record of such a meeting taking place. Derkach in recent months has leaked recordings of calls Biden had as vice president with Ukraineโs then-leader, audio the Biden campaign contends is heavily edited. The probe detailed extensive contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia but did not allege a criminal conspiracy between the two to tip the 2016 election. Some around Trump fear that the case being made against the younger Biden has been weakened because Giuliani has become its face.
Twitter CEO says it was wrong to block links to Biden story
Twitter was wrong to block weblinks to an unverified political story, CEO Jack Dorsey said on Friday, as the company responded to criticism over its handling of the story that had prompted cries of censorship from the right. โStraight blocking of URLs was wrong, and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix,โ he tweeted. Dorsey was weighing in after an executive at the social media company announced changes late Thursday to its policy on hacked content following an onslaught of criticism. And instead of blocking links from being shared, tweets will be labeled to provide context, Gadde said. San Francisco-based Twitter initially responded by banning users from sharing links to the article in tweets and direct messages because it violated the companyโs policy prohibiting hacked content.

Hunter Biden joined the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma in 2014, around the time his father, then U.S. vice president, was helping conduct the Obama administration's foreign policy with Ukraine. The Biden campaign didn't address that issue on Wednesday and Hunter Biden's lawyer did not return an email seeking comment from the AP. โWe should view it as a Trump campaign product,โ Jankowicz said. Biden's campaign, meanwhile, pointed to the recent Republican-led Senate investigation that found no evidence of wrongdoing on Biden's part with regard to Ukraine.
