yeah I wonder how many relatives of presidents or congressmen have tried to cash in on the name. The only issue is whether Joe Biden personally profited from this or whether he was in office or running for office at this time.
Since 1987 Trump and his children have traveled to Russia and made deals. Russians have significantly invested in Trump businesses. How bold was this well he tried to push Trump vodka on Russians. Still he has cultivated connections with Russian Politian's and military. MONEY to be made here.
trump denied any current Russian business as early as 2016 when he says that he ceased trying to build a Trump Tower in Russia after become a the republican candidate.
2020 Trump children accompany Sater (trump Russian connection to making deals in Russia) to Russia. Maybe still trying to push that vodka.
2019, it acknowledged before the House Intelligence Committee that one real estate project between Russia and Trump was falsely presented as a joint defense agreement, but withheld documents concerning direct details and phone records. Following testimony, Committee chair Patrick Boland announced "Our investigation thus far has revealed that Sater was not a part of any joint defense agreement, and has no basis to assert this privilege over these documents."

In November 2015, Sater emailed Cohen suggesting that the Moscow project could be used to increase Trump’s chances of getting elected, according to the Mueller report.
“Buddy our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process,” said the email quoted in the report.
“Michael, Putin gets on stage with Donald for a ribbon cutting for Trump Moscow, and Donald owns the republican nomination. And possibly beats Hillary and our boy is in .. . . We will manage this process better than anyone. You and I will get Donald and Vladimir on a stage together very shortly. That the game changer,” the email said.
A U.S. House panel issued a subpoena on Friday to Russian-born real estate developer Felix Sater after he failed to appear for a closed-door interview with the committee, which is interested in his work on a proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow.

Bipartisan senate committee investigation concluded that "The Russian government disrupted an American
election to help
Mr. Trump become president"
Trump used businessmen who joined his campaign and whom had no experience in government affairs. Other associates were in contact with Russians.
The graph show more than 140 contacts with Russian during his 2016 campaign.
A nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry.

I guess republicans hope to get something similar on Biden. Yet they are looking at the Biden Family and throwing that fish net out there in hopes of getting the Big Guy.
