Trump is falsely claiming that there is a picture of the Bidens golfing with the company boss of the company Hunter Biden worked for. This is a lie.
Trump tweeted a flat out lie:
PolitiFact already fact-checked and debunked this lie, We wanted to investigate the identity of the Ukraine gas (executive) referenced in the picture. He is Devon Archer, an American (not Ukrainian) who served as a board member (not an executive) along with Hunter Biden at the Ukraine energy company Burisma.
The person in the picture is not a Ukrainian company boss. Donald Trump should know this, but probably doesnt Rudy Giuliani has likely convinced him that this photograph is of Ukranian executive.
Back in 2016, before the press caught on to Trump, they might have gone with his version of the picture and maybe fact-checked it later. Trump isnt getting as much traction with these lies, because the press is ready. As soon as the president says or tweets something false, there is a fact check shooting it down.
It is still a year before the 2020 election and Trump is making up fake pictures, as he is getting more desperate to smear Biden.

Trump is a bigger liar than giuliani. They shouldnt blame ignorance. He lies reflexively and for entertainment.

(48,993 posts)before they had anything to do with Burisma. Archer had also been a fundraiser for the Democratic Party years before that, and I wouldn't be surprised if he and Hunter Biden had known each other since they were in their 20s. Archer was a college roommate of John Kerry's stepson.
But the RW found a photo of him playing golf with Hunter and Joe Biden, so OMG CORRUPTION!!!
And Archer's identified only as the "company boss" by Trump, and only as a "Ukraine gas company exec" by Fox News in their story about the photo.
