President Donald Trump opened his Wednesday rally in Des Moines, Iowa, by tearing into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
Just minutes into his remarks, Trump cited a series of stories published by the New York Post alleging that Biden “has been blatantly lying about his involvement in his son’s corrupt business dealings.”
“This is a big smoking gun,” the president continued. “The newly uncovered emails reveal that a top executive from the highly questionable Ukrainian oil company — it’s an energy company — paid Hunter at least $50,000 a month, but it’s now looking like it could be $183,000 a month.” (RELATED: Twitter Is Using Its ‘Hacked Info’ Policy To Suppress The NYPost Story, But There’s One Big Problem)
“The same energy executive even sent Hunter an email saying quote, ‘we urgently need your advice on how you can use your influence.’ In other words, Hunter was being paid for access to his vice president father who was specifically put in charge of Ukraine and Russia.”
Trump finally stated that the “emails show that Biden’s repeated claim that he has never spoken to Hunter about his business dealings were a complete lie.”
Trump additionally added that Twitter blocked the personal account of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she tweeted about New York Post’s stories. McEnany confirmed she had been temporarily locked out of her account Wednesday evening.
It should be noted that New York Post’s stories do not directly accuse Joe Biden of any illegal activity. The Biden campaign vehemently denied that a meeting between the vice president and the official who emailed Hunter ever took place.
“[W]e have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time,” campaign spokesman Andrew Bates told Politico. “No meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.”

I can’t believe this is real right now. I absolutely can’t believe Nick Saban has coronavirus and will have to miss a game.
Outside of maybe Donald Trump, I’m not sure anyone in America more prominent than Saban has caught the virus. This is shocking.
Big news out of Alabama. Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID. So has athletic director Greg Byrne pic.twitter.com/padDYCH5ut — Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) October 14, 2020
Now, Alabama will have to play the second best team in the SEC without Saban running the show. I honestly feel terrible for fans of the Crimson Tide.
To say I’m at a loss for words right now would be an understatement.
Nick Saban: “I found out earlier this afternoon that I had tested positive for COVID-19. I immediately left work and isolated at home. At this time, I do not have any symptoms relative to COVID.” OC Steve Sarkisian to oversee game preparation. — Nicole Auerbach ???? (@NicoleAuerbach) October 14, 2020
Prayers out to Alabama, Saban and all the loyal fans. This is absolutely crazy.
