The White House has criticised Donald Trump's request for Russian President Vladimir Putin to release potentially damaging information on US President Joe Biden's son, calling the move particularly poorly timed as war rages in Ukraine.
His comment came as Western nations are trying to persuade Putin to end his five-week-long assault on Ukraine."What kind of American, let alone an ex-president, thinks that this is the right time to enter into a scheme with Vladimir Putin and brag about his connections to Vladimir Putin? There is only one, and it's Donald Trump," Bedingfield said on Wednesday.
During the military build-up preceding the invasion of Ukraine, Trump praised Putin as a "genius". Once the attack had commenced, he condemned it as "appalling".
