Russian President Putin says he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden's past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of President Trump's attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.

Putin, who has praised Trump in the past for saying he wanted better ties with Moscow, has said Russia will work with any U.S. leader, while noting what he called Joe Biden's"sharp anti-Russian rhetoric."

Putin appeared less friendly towards Trump in remarks broadcast by Russian state TV on Sunday. In what may be seen by some analysts as an attempt to try to curry favor with the Biden camp, he took the time to knock down what he made clear he regarded as false allegations from Trump about the Bidens."Yes, in Ukraine he [Hunter Biden] had or maybe still has a business, I don't know. It doesn't concern us. It concerns the Americans and the Ukrainians," said Putin.

"But well yes he had at least one company, which he practically headed up, and judging from everything he made good money. I don't see anything criminal about this, at least we don't know anything about this [being criminal]." Putin also reacted with visible irritation when asked about comments Trump has made concerning Putin's ties to the former mayor of Moscow, and to an alleged payment made to Hunter Biden by the ex-mayor's widow. Putin said he knew nothing about the existence of any commercial relationship between Hunter and the woman. Joe Biden says the accusation about his son is not true.to tilt the contest in Trump's favor, an allegation Moscow has denied.

SaintHeartwing So now we are taking Putins word for it? Asking for a friend.

Trump supporters:

Thank goodness. Putin is trustworthy again.

Hahaha unbelievable. So NOW Putin's a trustworthy good guy. The hypocrisy is astounding. Astounding

Lol so now Putin is reliable. disgusting media

gtconway3d Lol. So he's getting worried now that his puppet lost? I want the new administration to read those code-word protected phone conversations between Trump and Putin. It's a matter of national security (and I bet they'll be destroyed before they get to do it. Illegal? Yes.)

Is Putin turning from the dark side

LOL. Nothing like cozying up to the President-elect.

Putin now trying to suck up to Biden. And Trump thought Putin liked him. Putin likes winners man, whoever they may be.

gtconway3d Et Tu Putin? Watch every Trump cockroach turn on their tails and sweat they never stopped him

gtconway3d 😯😲🤔

gtconway3d

So now the Liberals are listening to Putin He was a bad guy “supposedly” before Hidin Biden became president. Once a fool,always a fool.

gtconway3d Putin's words are like shifting winds over political water. He knows where the bread is buttered.

Flag this as misinformation! Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails have been verified and US media is protecting him. is corrupt

Omg

If joe elect, impeach him!

He is playing safe with Biden. Biden can not tolerate puppeteering tricks.

Now do China and Ukraine.

So what's Rudy think about this 😬🤭😆😝

Probably trying to position himself closer to the Biden camp when the US DumpTrump but wiley Joe won't fall for his smoozing

Why would any rational news org quote the Russian President who is former KGB officer?!? They have been meddling in our elections and feeding our populous misinformation.

BettlejuiceB Putin is shaking in his boots because Biden won the Presidency. Other reasons also.

Trump being cut adrift by Putin now.

Wow that’s got to hurt Trump. Before you know it Biden will be receiving love letters from North Korea. Dictators are so fickle

Putin knows Biden is going to win so he’s going to try and play nice now. He already reaped dividends on his ‘16 interference, no need to push it.

Pretty pathetic that NBC is taking the word of Putting. This is why these stations are a joke.

Wow even Putin is turning on Trump.

Putin's puppet😂😂😂

trump is corrupt and is a lier

His personal life alone is repugnant. Total lack of morality and his father blames drugs. Drugs do not cause you to ignore children you create. Drugs do not make you jump into bed with your brother’s wife. The JoeBiden family are despicable.

Putin is now trying to mend fences. He knows he has no leverage w Joe, like he does with trump, so he’s trying to make nice.

Wonderful timing.

Lol this is the twist I didn’t see coming.

Is it true Putin is quitting his job in January? That would be nice for the people. Did he say what’s he going to do?

Eso es obvio, hay que separar la política de los negocios ... en teoría.

JoeBiden is a honest person and he can never do anything to hurt the people of America, A trust wealthy, Honest person, Legend and the last Motivator

OMG even Putin says the Hunter and Joe theory is a joke.

So now we trust Putin. Case closed then.

Dont believe wat you see and only wat you here

Cause he knows it's trump's last stop on the trump train.

Now Putin is trustworthy. 😏

🤣

Well Damn. 😳😳😳

Did you really just post this story NBC Jesus you people are so lost. Well when the war starts its good to know you all don't believe in guns.

Unlike trump, the guy is smart. A ruthless, evil bastard... but smart

The Trump got his Rag, nypost to say Putin’s leaving office

Notice how he only said this AFTER the election when it looks like Biden would win. And since when do Democrats trust Putin?

FAKE NEWS!

If you know, you know. 🤷🏻‍♂️

'Putin says'

Man even Putin is calling it.

Of course! He doesn't want the arrangement to be destroyed.

Public break-ups can be so messy.

This was reported several weeks ago. Y’all are doing the work for Russia.

NBC is a Chinese sympathizer. And the side with Russian leaders. Sad!

So, he IS helping Trump…

Putin is bailing on Trump? Now that is priceless. He must know he is going to lose. Distance yourself now.

b_r_u_g

Soooo... We believe Putin now? Ok 😂🤣

People don’t understand that by Putin remarking on some sort of business ties it makes him sound guilty.

VOTEBLUETOSAVEAMERICA 💯

BIDENHARRIS2020LANDSLIDE 💯

Mr President are you listening to your friend, Mr Putin

Well. Now we know it’s fucked up if Putin is denying it right. Isn’t that always your line of thought nbc?

That means he's stinking guilty then.

Why do any of us care what he thinks?

Wow, Really NBC is going to believe what Putin says, Mainstream Media needs to FACT CHECK themselves RIDICULOUSLY OUTRAGEOUS must be a chucktodd or mitchellreports story HACKS

Let me get this straight. You’ve been saying that Trump and others are Russian agents, puppets of Putin for YEARS, but now we should drop the Biden stuff because Putin says so? I mean, really

Putin Is Covering For Biden!! Priceless!!

NBC is fakenews. Check out what is actually happening with Hunterbidenlaptop The is out there, but just know, NBC is not going to help you get it.

Sorry, but why the hell should we care what he thinks?

Sooooooo... BELIEVE Putin? He’s a GOOD guy or what ? I’m so confused. ABC did a good job I thought.

Oh well he's a trustworthy guy, his opinion means a lot

{Tucker. TUCKER! TuckerCarlson ssshhhh!!}

joe biden thinks russia is the potential enemy, and yet putin is putting the good words for his son. interesting

So we're now believing what Putin Has to say. So Putin has a relationship with Joe Biden🙄 4 years Thought he was bad Shouldn't listen to a word he says.

Shouldn't there OpEds about how Putin loves Hunter and the Biden family is compromised? Wasn't this the logic used to attack Trump as his puppet?

marygribbin809 I don’t give a fuck what Putin says. I don’t give a fuck what Trump says. I don’t give a fuck what GOP says. VOTE BIDEN!!! VOTE BLUE!!!

Putin must be really pissed at DonaldTrump

Putin has given up on trump! The reason he is pushing for Biden! Putin will get his eyes opened with Biden who is not an easy pushover!

lacadri34 lololololol

NBC now carry water for Russian Disinformation....WHY CHECK IN WITH CHINA, IRAN AND NOKO AND SEE IF THEY WILL VOUCH FOR THE BIDEN CRIM FAMILY.......JUST PATHETIC FOR A FORMER NEWS STATION TO PUSH THIS CRAP

But the same media claim they are interfering with the election. Which one is it hypocrites?

So now NBC believes Putin. But Biden’s haven’t denied about the email.

They keep posting this article every day?

Now the king of disinformation, Putin, is your source for “nothing to see here!”

I don’t give a shit about Hunter Biden. Even if he did get a nice job through his dad, it’s not a patch on Trump’s nepotism. If this was the smoking gun that Trump though was going to sink Biden he’s very much mistaken.

Putin knows donnyboy is going down.

realDonaldTrump so what are you going to say to Vladdy?

This is real politics. He thinks he knows who’s going to win. PutinsPuppet has served his purpose and can now be cast aside. poorDonald

I’ve been tweeting that for a week!! It’s in. Reuter’s interview with Putin!

Putin The Great was hinting BidenCrimeFamiIy ExcuseMe

Uh oh

Putin is the good guy now. Got it.

Putin just wants to start more chaos.

Bet both hunter n trump are criminals right along Putin

Now you want to listen to Putin? 😂

Reverse action. So Putin siding with Biden. Then I'm voting Trump

Putin is a good guy for now

But Trump is a puppet, Russian asset....or whatever

What would you say if you wanted to see your investment for influence pay off?

realDonaldTrump OOPS

Really he said that and you believe him we need to stop getting opinions from people outside the country start with this great nation

OctobersOwnTae Putin kno who about to win

Screw off Vlad 🖕

Do you now you trust Putin ?

Welcome in 'Trumps world': USA 320 million people with over 225.000 corona deaths. Germany 83 million people with over 10.000 corona deaths. Thanks God, that this man isn't chancellor in Germany!!! Believe in God, but don't trust Trump!!!

The bias continues. Putin is only believable and trustworthy when he backs a narrative you support.

November surprise!! realDonaldTrump

You absolutely are in the tank for JoeBiden you are hell bent on burying TonyBobulinski ! hunterbiden hunterbidenlaptop

When Trump loses Putin hahahah.

Putin is hedging his bets as to who the president will be next year. At best he tries not to piss off someone he knows won’t turn a blind eye to his BS. At worst he tells Trump to get over it, and reminds him of whatever leverage he has over Trump.

Well now that Putin said it, Trump might listen

Oh since when did we start believing in what Putin and Russia has to say? Did I miss something.

Why would anyone care what Putin thinks about anything?

NBC totes believes Putin and loves Russia -- when it suits their DNC overlords.

Well OK that settles that then Putin doesn’t see anything wrong with it then it is OK

Reverse psychology. Perfect example. Ultimately a pro-Trump statement.

The whole story was fake.

NBC now taughts Russia as the truth. The fake news...

So instead of talking about the crooked Biden Crime family which Putin just confirmed NBC touts this as Putin decides who has broken the law here and they probably beleive it.

Of course NBC will tout this like it's something special. Now they love Putin. What a bunch of crap from the fake news media.

If you believe Putin, you're a traitor.

Sounds like putin is campaigning for sleepy joe helping cover up hunters buisness dealings so daddy doesn't get in trouble

Putin doesn’t fear Joe, of course they want him to be elected. He’s weak. They see Trump as a threat. TRUMP 2020! See you in a week.

Now there just trollin stories they don’t like are Russian disinformation but direct quotes from the Russian president is not Russian disinformation lol I can’t 😂

So we believe Putin now can democrats get anymore desperate sounds like collusion Russia is helping Biden

This is where Trump will tuck his tail in between his legs cause his godfather has condemned Trump's attack on Hunter Biden. I won't be surprised if/when he stops talking about Hunter

Vlad knows who is gonna win.

Oh so Russian information is all good now? Sheesh

What is behind Putin? Oil, money and thieves' impudence stolen from their weak-willed people! And even a sea of ​​lies!

Trump is afraid to call out Putin, even about things that hurt Trump.

How intriguing! Very impressive “news”~.~ BidensLaptopMatters

LOL and we believe him now?

Putin is good now?

Trump just lies all the time. That's a part of his daily life.

How is this newsworthy, given the underlying story isn't?

Anybody know where the heck Hunter Biden is? Shouldn’t he be helping out his dad, like the Trump Family?

Oh! Thank goodness! If Putin says there was nothing wrong it must be true...SMH 😳

B-bye, Donald. Do I still love you? Nyet!

'Why is Russia meddling in our elections?!!'

Yeah whatever your belief is on the hunter thing, let’s not trust what Putin says...

Man Bus Trump Putin Kaput!

Guess he’s decided to hedge his bets

I don't believe thst he said that!

Somehow hard evidence on Hunter's laptop is magically Russian propaganda, but the actual leader of Russia speaking isn't

Hard to keep up with you media lapdogs. So Putin is good now Thank goodness we have you intellectually superior folks to look out for us unwashed masses...

Of course he didn’t...interesting that now NBC believes what Putin and Russia say...NBC has no credibility

I’ll just leave this here

I think that he sees the tide turning and knows that his vassal is going to be kicked out of the WH. So he has to have future president Biden on side. Better show that he is not looking for a fight with his future American counterpart. Trump is History! 😎

And we trust what he says or believes?

Oh you have GOT to be kidding.

Suddenly the news loves Putin and Russia. Comical.

So now Democrats like Putin? Didn’t make a difference when the same Putin assure he had nothing to do with Trump winning elections in2016 ;-)

Wait, Putin says Biden did nothing wrong in Ukraine or Russia. Must be legit? When did that happen? I thought Trump was Putin’s puppet and the russians were behind the Biden laptop?

When Putin says nothing wrong that mean definitely something wrong

So I guess that Putin just hated Hillary

So they did had something to do with Russia!!! Something Biden denied

OMG. The FBI said that the laptop not part of any Russian Disinformation and NBC instead takes the word of a foreign country. Unbelievable!

First Netanyahu, now Putin, Trump thinks they will be loyal to him, they look out for their own interest and see that maybe the wind is going the other direction.

DemocratsAreCorrupt

So let me get this straight. You MSM. After saying trump and Putin are in cahoots, now trust Putin's word? GFY🖕 MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

😂I’m sure the Trumpster is furious and pouting about this !

So this NY Times article is interesting, after VP Biden handles Ukraine his son Hunter joins Ukrainian gas company under corruption investigations

Putin is saying they did not bribe the US to save an oligarch. It would look bad on him.

Any other time Democrats will say Russia is interfering in our election or Trump is Putin's puppet. But now that they need Putin's help to verify a story all of a sudden Putin is trustworthy? Democrats are seeking help from a foreign country to influence the election.

Okey, which is Russian disinformation now?

Bruh you know it’s bad when even your homie said you lyin

Black cats hope MSM isn't going to start the 'Russia can be our friend' crapola again. They can't. They've been undermining the USA since at LEAST 1945. We never should've taken our eyes off of them! 🐾

'marking out his disagreement' Neutral conduit reporting. I'm sure NYT couldn't be happier with itself. No hint that Mr. Spymaster was playing us into believing that Joe Biden had business interests in Ukraine. Nope. Let's take him at his word.

Putin is backing Biden, but the last 4 years you have been calling Trump 'Putin's puppet'.. got it

Sooooooo thinks Putin's comments are newsworthy, but contents of Hunter's laptop are not.

😅 We live in a Dumbocracy

So when will this be on the evening news

rob13567 I wonder if Putin will start releasing the blackmail material he has on the republicans? It appears that Putin can’t hack the vote so what’s the next step in destroying America? Vote blue

Putin is hedging his bets, because it looks like his puppet Trump is going to lose, and he wants to not burn bridges with Biden.

NBC News is spreading Russian disinformation...

Who cares? NBC reported russian collusion was the reason dems refused to do their job for three years. And now NBC cares to report what putin says?

This is pretty funny. Do you suppose that Putin would find selling America out to foreign interests 'criminal'? Do you think Putin was feel the same if some oligarch's son was doing the same to Russia? Sounds like Putin would prefer Biden win, perhaps he has dirt to leverage too!

Russis is doing a great job of sowing disinformation into our society. Troll level pro! One star ⭐️ Would not recommend

Now, Putin is ally of Democrates, shame

According to the media, whatever Putin says, the opposite must be true. I expect they will now believe Hunter Biden is compromised.

Two years ago- NBCNews didn’t believe a thing Russia or Putin said- but now it’s the gospel. Got it.

Putins words mean nothing to me. He’s a red commie... and laughing at us

A mother accusing Hunter Biden of inappropriate contact with her child told Joe Biden she would call the police if Hunter came near the minor again. Joe and his brother, Jim, wanted to silence her.

Lol lol. Is confirmed ir Rusia speak is confirmed. Biden with a Big business

I bet trump is losing it over this. Didn't we all know Putin would throw him under the bus when he was used up

Putin isn’t a credible source for anything, even though I agree that there is no evidence of a problem with Hunter Biden.

Putin throwing Trump under the bus! Haha! Putin is probably driving the bus, instead! Poor PutinsPuppy.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The Russian game is to say something good about Biden and then Trump will tweet, that Biden is protected by Russian . Don’t fall for Trump and Russian game.

Putin is a friend of democrats.

Americans … your leader has spoken and he’s done with the Trump shenanigans.

What, I thought Trump was a Russian asset ?!?!?!

JamieOGrady Not helping. But then, that's the point.

So within 24 hours Mark Meadows gave his 2 week notice on National TV, and now Putin has fired Trump. We get to deliver the third strike in 8 days.

are we believing Putin now? He also said there was no collusion.

Nbc watch the YouTube video called I sniffed a girl and I liked it and the childrens composite of Joe and the wholesale on Gateway pundits. Deplorable isn't strong enough, the word for those who vote for him The Word is Disgusting.

For some reason, I totally L'ed OL 😄😄😄😄

Off course Putin will defend Biden since Biden received $3.5 million from Russia. realDonaldTrump was right after all!

The sad thing is Russia loves trolling Trump so much, that he's probably telling the truth - The Russians were the ones who tweeted pictures of the WH visit a few years ago, and it was the only way we knew. They announce phone calls, and it's the only way we know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The only thing found with Rudy’s trip to Ukraine.....was his hand 🖐 in his 👖!

Hahahahaha hahahahaha. Now they believe Putin. Unreal.

Interesting. Now those same Americans that believed his every denial because trump did, will call this lies and fake news. So much cognitive dissonance.

NBC News Fake news as usual

Meanwhile Trump Hotel Moscow Trump trying to force the G7 to include Russia Trump asking publicly for Russia to interfere in the Elections 'I'd like you to do us a favour, though'. Trump brand clothing line made in China Trump china bank account.

Putin's Girlfriend is not going to like this news

Breaking: Putin cool now, must take his words to heart during US election

So Hunter's emails are a Russian disinformation campaign that can't be 'verified' so no MSM reporter will cover the subject. BUT Putin makes a statement he saw no problems with Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine and suddenly its ok to discuss emails MSM is a joke

Putin just betting on Biden winning, because Russians believe the fake news.

And that is more impirtant to report than the laptop evidence from hunter biden? Putin? Lol

Wow. So is he Putin’s puppet now also? Putin said that about Trump and you said the opposite must be true then.

Now you care what President Putin has to say. hypocrites idiots fakenews doyourjob

Ain’t no Russian collusion when it serves to acquit Joe huh?

Now Russian propaganda is acceptable?

So we can trust Putin now?

as far as the the way Putin does business, bad judge

Russian disinformation. 👍

👍

Fuuuuyuck Pooootin Once ' It's ' voted out of office ... AMERICA IS COMING FOR U POSPUTIN

Wouldn’t THIS be spreading ACTUAL Russian disinformation?

now it seems russia is covering for Bidens. Cant wait to vote red on the 3rd

Bahaha now we trust Putin

Putin likes Green groups. Democrats like Green groups, New Deals, shady deals? Is this why Biden said he’d end fracking?

Hey, guys this might actually be fOreIgN dISimFoRmATion.

Wait, I thought we couldn't trust anything Putin/Russia says. Why trust now?

Ha ha! Wait...NOW they believe Putin?! What hypocritical journalist at NBC. Truth is only truth when convenient for their bias. Got it. It seems Australia's journalist have more integrity than these guys. Look at their national papers' headlines!

Eh? So now when it suits you you believe Putin?

NOW Russia is good! My god you can’t make this up.

So you believe Russia now ?

The Dems in the comments are funny as hell because they don’t realize that this contradicts that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal is being created and pushed by Putin. Their brains are 1-dimensional so they don’t realize that this blows their theory that Russia is pushing disinfo.

This is the problem It's not illegal for Mitt Romney's nephew or John Kerry's step son or Joe Biden's degenerate son to extract influence payments from Burisma Though Hunter is guilty of money laundering among other frauds

After years of pushing a fake Russia collusion hoax, NBC now trusts Putin. You really cannot make this stuff up.

lol

Good, more proof that Trump lies and creates stories to cover up his misdeeds.

Lol, Good scoop NBC. In other news Jerry Sandusky feels Larry Nasser got a raw deal

Now MSM loves putin..😂..realDonaldTrump is a genius

Putin support (endorsed) Biden, xi also... then....how about you😂😂😂😂😂

just last week it was reported that Russia and Iranian interference has been aimed at helping Biden. This is just a continuation of that.

Or, just maybe, even Putin can see US presidential polls and is hedging his bets

Putin has America by the balls, and he knows how to mind fuck us. We are easy targets because we choose to be...

So the media says we can’t believe or trust the information on the laptop because it’s a part of a Russian disinformation campaign. A few days later, Russian President Putin publicly states no crimes were committed by the Bidens, and now they believe him? 😂 🤔hypocrisy

Putin, the most venerated figure from their Russia gate for 4 years Lefties are such scumbags

Well, if you can't believe THE RUSSIANS!!, who can you trust? Right, ? You only spent the last 3.5 years screaming about their interference, but a week before the election, this is straight up legit.

Now you believe putin lmfao fuck nbc

Putin is the one that started the Biden spin.

Oh well, that settles it. If Putin says it’s bogus then we just need to drop it. If there is a single source of truth in this universe it’s ol’ Vlad.

Putin obviously prefers Biden in the White House. Iran also prefers Biden, and China. Hostile foreign countries can do whatever they want with a Biden Administration. Biden is feeble, can’t even work a 40 hour week.

Putin found Trump's computer and turned it over to the NY Post.

Putin says he'd work with Biden; says Democratic Party shares links with communism; Putin also complains about RealDonaldTrump policies. via amermilnews

realDonaldTrump Looks like your boss is over you. 🤣🤣😂🤣😂 From Putin to Netanyahu, leaders are hedging to make nice with Biden cause ... you out!

Is Putin one of your legal analyst now?

You know Trump is toast when even Putin dumps him. 8 days.

Oh so now we need to listen to Putin and Russia 🖕

Putin sees the writing on the wall. He still wants to be a player on the international stage, he knows he has to play nice with Biden who is going re-establish our relationships with our allies and force his hand

Further proof that the Dems have always been in bed with Putin. TrumpLandslideVictory2020

That awkward moment when your idiot is no longer useful...

? Russian President Putin Dethroning GO'Putin Party CZAR Trumpski the FAKE ?

Putin just confirmed Hunter’s business dealings with Ukraine and Russia. We don’t need a President who can be blackmailed by a communist country. truth

🙏😊🙏💐

Putin is tired of Trump fawning all over him, and touching him when they meet.

NBC, how much self-awareness does it require for you to realize how differently you would write this story if it were going in the other direction? “Putin Now Appears Complicit in Corruption Coverup.”

Biden = China + Rusia + Irán = Covid Vote Trump2020

Don't be fooled. This is Putin trying to help Trump by pretending to be on Biden's side. Trump is running out of option and Putin is mobilizing to help him win.

Trump gonna be triggered so bad

Collusion

Trump gonna be mad his best buddy isn’t backing him up either.
