Former US President Donald Trump, speaking to his supporters at a rally in Conroe, Texas, threatened to launch a corruption investigation into his successor, Joe Biden, as soon as Congress returns to Republican control, RIA Novosti reported.        

Trump expressed hope that his fellow Republicans will win majorities in the House and Senate in this year's midterm elections, which will be held on 8 November.

“Rest assured that when the Republicans win back Congress, Biden’s corruption will be investigated and exposed by Congress. “The millions of dollars that the Bidens took from China also explain why Joe refused to hold the (Chinese) Communist Party accountable for the virus released on us and the rest of the world,” the ex-president promised.

The current head of the White House denies allegations of involvement in numerous foreign business projects of his son Hunter, who, in particular, was a member of the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma.
