Jake Tapper admits \u2018Trump was right,\u2019 \u2018Biden was wrong\u2019 about Hunter Biden in 2020 presidential debate<\/a><\/h4>\n

CNN host Jake Tapper admitted that former President Donald Trump “was right” during the 2020 presidential debates when he accused then-presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s son Hunter Biden of accepting large amounts of foreign money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CNN host and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper<\/a> admitted that former President Donald Trump “was right” when he accused then-presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s son Hunter Biden of accepting large amounts of foreign money during the 2020 presidential debates.<\/p>\n

On CNN’s “The Lead” Thursday, Tapper also declared that Biden “was wrong” during the match-ups between the two candidates three years ago, when the then-Democratic nominee denied Trump\u2019s allegations that his son made “a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow and various other places.”<\/p>\n

At the time Biden flatly rejected the claim, saying, “None of that is true.” Tapper gave Biden the benefit of the doubt in his commentary, stating he didn\u2019t know whether the then-candidate was “lying” at the time.<\/p>\n

In a Thursday segment, CNN anchor Jake Tapper admitted “Trump was right” when he accused Hunter Biden of accepting large amounts of foreign money during the 2020 presidential debates.<\/span> (Screenshot\/CNN)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tapper played a compilation of the two debate exchanges and compared them with a recent report from Washington Post chief-fact checker Glenn Kessler showing Biden to be wrong.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The host stated, “Glenn Kessler from the Washington Post had a fact check about Joe Biden from earlier this month noting that Hunter Biden admitted in court in July that he was in fact paid substantial sums from Chinese companies.”<\/p>\n

Citing the piece, Tapper said, “Kessler wrote<\/u><\/a>, \u2018Hunter Biden reported nearly 2.4 million in income in 2017 and 2.2 million in income in 2018,\u2019 most of which came from Chinese or Ukrainian interests.”<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

He then took a swipe at Biden\u2019s 2020 claims, before playing footage from the debates, “This directly goes against what Joe Biden said in the debate in 2020 with Donald Trump. Take a listen.”<\/p>\n

After playing the footage of then-President Trump\u2019s allegations and Biden\u2019s denial, Tapper admitted that Trump was correct about Hunter Biden’s business dealings.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“So this is from two different debates but, I mean, Trump was right. I mean, he did make a fortune from China and Joe Biden was wrong,” Tapper declared.<\/p>\n

About Biden\u2019s denial, he added, “I don\u2019t know that he was lying about it. He might not have been told by Hunter, but this blind spot is a problem.”<\/p>\n

After Tapper asked his panelists whether they considered this blind spot to be an issue for the president going forward, former Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., played the issue off, saying, “Well I think dads sometimes, and parents sometimes, have blind spots about their kids for sure and the president may be no exception. But nothing has tied the president to any of Hunter Biden\u2019s dealings. There\u2019s no whiff of him being involved or implicated in it.”<\/p>\n

\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“I think it\u2019s not something the voters care a lot about,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though Biden denied his son\u2019s alleged corrupt business dealings while on the presidential campaign trail, CNN recently mentioned that the president has been “very obsessed” with the topic and sensitive to how it\u2019s being portrayed in the media.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday,\u00a0CNN\u2019s John Avlon stated<\/u><\/a>, “And in private also, I’ve heard reports that he\u2019s very obsessed with the negative coverage of Hunter. He\u2019s concerned about it, it\u2019s an irritant. And that\u2019s understandable. But not one that allies around him want to raise because it will derail a conversation.”<\/p>\n
