Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump Jr. are trying to stir up a new rumor about the Bidens


Rudy Giuliani seemingly has a new plan geared toward exposing wrongdoing in the Biden family, The Daily Beast reports.
The former New York City mayor, who now serves as President Trump's personal lawyer, tweeted Tuesday that he has "video documentary evidence" which lends credence to his allegations of criminal activity in Ukraine by Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, whom he has also baselessly accused of squashing investigations to protect his son.
Giuliani has pursued these accusations against the Bidens for quite some time, and they've returned to the spotlight as Trump has come under fire for allegedly pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating Hunter Biden. But Giuliani, along with the likes of former White House adviser and conservative activist Stephen Bannon, is reportedly throwing a new wrinkle into the story — he says he also has evidence that something fishy happened in China, which he alleges is "sadly and tragically" worse than the situation in Ukraine.
