This is a pathetic attempt to deflect from the very real foreign money scandals engulfing Biden.

Joe Biden making a pathetic attempt to distract from his own foreign corruption by inventing a fake issue for President Trump. In reality, Biden's accusation is absolutely baseless. Here are the facts:

  • President Trump does not have a personal Chinese bank account.

  • Long before Donald Trump ran for president, Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C. opened an account with a Chinese bank that has offices in the United States in order to pay local taxes in China and to explore potential hotel deals in Asia.

  • No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized, and since 2015, the business office has remained inactive.

  • The Trump Organization maintains bank accounts in other countries where it does business, as international businesses typically do.

The Trump Organization's account proves one thing: an international hotel business was an international hotel business. Meanwhile, Joe Biden still owes the American people answers about his foreign corruption and dangerous ties to China.
