Republicans are drawing parallels between hush money payments by Donald Trump and tax payments by Joe Biden's son, Hunter. Experts say there are clear differences between the two cases.
Republicans want to damage Joe Biden before the presidential election in November. The president's son has repeatedly made headlines with drug problems and previous legal problems. Both the US President and Hunter Biden reject the informant who provided investigators with material about the family's business dealings in Ukraine. The focus is once again on a favorite topic of Trump supporters: Hunter Biden.. Hunter Biden is a popular Republican target. According to experts, parallels to the Trump trial are untenable. The comparison of the scenarios is a comparison of apples and ambulances, it was said. “Whataboutism is not a defense,” Dan Weinter concluded. The Republican theory is “far-fetched”, Brendan Fischer called the Republican theory “Far-fetched.” In Hunter Biden's case, there was a crucial difference: "A close personal friend of Hunter Biden helping him with unpaid taxes in order to relieve him is not remotely the same as Donald Trump personally causing the Trump Organization to file false claims," argued Jordan Libowitz.
