President Donald Trump is facing intense criticism over a July phone call during which, according to a person familiar with the matter, he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate to face him in the 2020 presidential election.
Under fire, Trump has revived one of his favorite defensive tactics: trying to turn the spotlight onto his opponent.
Trump has made a series of allegations about Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden over the last week. The essence of Trump’s argument is that Joe Biden was improperly trying to help Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, when Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire the country’s prosecutor general.
But there are significant holes in Trump’s story. Some of his allegations have been false. Others have been missing important context.
