President Donald Trump said Thursday that he had "NOTHING to do" with any potential prosecution of President-Elect Joe Biden's son, Hunter.

Trump's tweet came just one day after Jeffrey Rosen, the incoming Acting Attorney General, declined to say in an interview with Reuters whether or not he would appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings.

Trump, who leaves office on Jan. 20, has privately been mulling whether to pressure the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel for Hunter Biden, according to a person familiar with the matter.

According to a US Senate Committee report,Joe Biden'sson Hunter was paid $50,000 a month to serve as the board of Burisma which is a Ukrainian natural gas company with a corrupt owner while his father was the US vice presidentto Democratic President Barack Obama.

On December 9, Hunter Biden disclosed his tax affairs were under investigation by the USAttorney for the District of Delaware.

However,Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied Trump's allegations sayingthat Joe Biden's son, Hunter did ''made very good money in Ukraine'' but Moscow is not aware of anything criminal about hispast business.
