A White House adviser is flip-flopping on whether China gave him information on Joe Biden's son after Trump asked Beijing to investigate the Bidens.
An informal White House adviser on China is giving conflicting accounts to media organizations over whether China gave him information about former Vice President Joe Biden's son's activities in China, the same week that President Donald Trump urged the country to probe the Bidens.
First, the adviser, Michael Pillsbury, told The Financial Times he got "quite a bit of background on Hunter Biden from the Chinese."
"I tried to bring up the topic in Beijing," Pillsbury said.
"I've never seen them get so secretive in my entire life.
They would discuss ICBM warheads sooner than talk about what Hunter Biden was doing in China with Vice President Biden."
Hours later, Pillsbury changed his story, telling C-SPAN he hadn't spoken with FT in over a month.
But FT's Washington bureau chief released an email exchange between him and Pillsbury, in which Pillsbury wrote, "Actually, I got quite a bit of background on Hunter Biden from the Chinese."
