The origins of the story also trace back to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has repeatedly pushed unfounded claims about Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. The Biden campaign didn't address that issue Wednesday and Hunter Biden's lawyer did not return an email seeking comment from AP. "We should view it as a Trump campaign product," Jankowicz said. With less than three weeks until election day and polls showing him trailing Biden, Trump appears to be returning to the subject of his opponent's family to energise his base. Biden's campaign, meanwhile, pointed to the recent Republican-led Senate investigation that found no evidence of wrongdoing on Biden's part with regard to Ukraine.
