Hunter has also reaped unlikely windfalls
at a Ukraine energy company and as a beneficiary of a $1.5 billion
Chinese capital investment in a fund he partly owns.
Don Jr., the president's eldest son, smelled blood.
'The
Bidens got rich leeching off American taxpayers while my family was
building an amazing business. The difference between Hunter and me is
that I’ve never made a living selling access to my politician father,'
he told DailyMail.com in a lengthy statement.
'My first job at the Trump Organization
was working as a dock attendant, then on construction sites in high
school. I’ve never been appointed to Amtrak boards based solely on the
fact that my father was a prominent Senator at the time,' he said.
'I
never have and never would sell access to a foreign country while my
father sat in the White House like Hunter did with China and Ukraine. My
family gave up pursuing all new international business deals when our
father was elected, while Hunter specifically used his father’s office
to magically become a wealthy "international businessman".'
Hunter
told ABC that political slams on his route to wealth are a meaningless
dance compared to 'real stuff' – likely a reference to his struggles
with drug addiction and his brother Beau's 2015 death from an aggressive
form of brain cancer.
Calling the
Trumps' verbal fisticuffs a relative 'Barnum and Bailey' circus, he
insisted he doesn't spend time thinking about the Republican family that
now vilifies him and his father at every turn.
'I mean, like, you know, Donald "Prince Humperdinck" Trump Jr. is not somebody that I really care about,' he said.
'Dumpster fire at Biden HQ!' Trump Jr. tweeted after the interview ran on 'Good Morning America.'
He, his brother Eric and their sister Ivanka have themselves been accused of taking advantage of their family name.
Ivanka
and her husband Jared Kushner are senior White House aides. Don Jr. and
Eric are running the Trump Organization in their father's absence,
managing the president's real estate empire.
Hunter
Biden boasted his own résumé on Tuesday before agreeing that his famous
name positioned him for a life of elite privilege.
'I was vice chairman of the board of
Amtrak for five years,' he said. 'I was the chairman of the board of the
U.N. World Food Program. I was a lawyer for Boies Schiller Flexner, one
of the most prestigious law firms in the world.'
'I
think that it is impossible for me to be on any of the boards I just
mentioned without saying I'm the son of the Vice President of the United
States,' he said.
That influence may
have helped Hunter from the earliest days of his career. His first job
after graduating from Yale Law School in 1996 was
After
graduating from law school, Biden took a job at MBNA America, a banking
conglomerate later swallowed up by Bank of America. At the time, MBNA
was a significant contributor to Joe Biden's U.S. Senate campaigns.
In less than three years, Hunter Biden was promoted to executive vice president of the company.
A
source close to Donald Trump Jr. told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that
Hunter's pride in later working for Boies Schiller Flexner is misplaced.
'Hunter
Biden? You mean the guy that was on TV bragging about having worked for
the law firm that hired thugs to terrorize and silence Harvey
Weinstein's victims?' the source mocked.
