German-backed Publication's Backfire on President Trump's Son
A German-backed publication attempted to target President Trump's son but ended up drawing federal attention to its foreign ownership and lobbying activities. The publication's hit piece on Donald Trump Jr. was deemed meaningless and compared him to Hunter Biden, which was criticized as ludicrous. The article failed to reach out to Trump Jr. for comment and has now put its owner, Axel Springer, under federal scrutiny.
