Trump Jr.: I Wish I Was Hunter Biden So I Could Profit From My Dad's Presidency

Donald Trump Jr. says he wishes he could make millions off his father’s presidency ― like Hunter Biden.

President Donald Trump’s son made his latest nepotism accusations against the former vice president’s son during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” Wednesday night.

“Imagine if your name was Hunter Biden,” host Sean Hannity said, in a nod to the fact that Hunter Biden landed a high-paying job on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, despite limited experience in that industry.

“I wish my name was Hunter Biden,” Trump Jr. replied. “I could go abroad, make millions off of my father’s presidency. I’d be a really rich guy. It would be incredible.”

Trump Jr. has a reported net worth of $200 million.

Trump Jr. has run the Trump Organization with his brother Eric Trump ever since their father assumed office. The brothers, who have had extensive foreign business dealings during their father’s presidency, have repeatedly accused Hunter Biden of leveraging his family name for personal gain during his father’s time in office.

Earlier this month, Eric Trump argued in a statement to The New York Times that their foreign dealings were different from Biden’s because they were continuations of deals already in the works before the Trump presidency.

Trump Jr.’s latest comments were made near the end of Hannity’s program as the Fox News personality again pushed an unfounded theory that former Vice President Joe Biden was a party to an inappropriate quid pro quo when he pushed Ukraine to dismiss a corrupt prosecutor who was investigating Burisma Holdings.

The European Union and numerous Obama administration officials were all pushing for the prosecutor’s removal and multiple investigations have yielded no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens.

King has said that Republicans <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/30/steve-king-impeachment_n_5634195.html" target="_blank">should pursue</a> impeachment if President Barack Obama takes executive action on immigration.

Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.)

Yoho suggested that Republicans send President Barack Obama a series of measures to secure the United States' borders and then impeach him if he refused to enforce those measures, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/07/25/GOP-Special-Immigration-Conference" target="_blank">Breitbart News</a> reported.   Yoho has been<a href="http://www.tedyoho.com/2011/06/17/84/" target="_blank"> pushing </a>for President Obama's impeachment since before he was elected to Congress.

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.)

According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbWaLHOmgtM" target="_blank">audio</a> captured by BuzzFeed, Barletta said that the House "probably" has the votes to impeach Obama.  "We have a president that's taken this to a new level. And it's put us in a real position where he's just absolutely ignoring the constitution and ignoring and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances. You know the problem is what do you do for those who say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws. You know could that pass in the House? It probably could," Barletta said. "Are the majority of the American people in favor of impeaching the President? I'm not sure about that."  (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.)

As a Senate candidate, Broun suggested that he would <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/03/paul-broun-impeach-obama_n_4716946.html" target="_blank">support</a> impeaching President Barack Obama.   "If House leadership brought an impeachment vote before the floor, then there would certainly be good reason for doing so, with substantive information and evidence to impeach the President. With the President repeatedly bypassing Congress through executive order, lying to the American people on Obamacare, and failing to address what really happened in Benghazi, I can understand why this would be an important issue to many Georgians right now," he <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/03/paul-broun-impeach-obama_n_4716946.html" target="_blank">said</a> at a candidate forum.  "What I don't understand, is how a candidate can claim to be a proven conservative, and yet if such a resolution was brought up for a vote, they would oppose it," he added.

Rep. Walter Jones (D-N.C.)

On a local radio program, Jones said that he favored impeachment over suing President Barack Obama.  “I am one that believes sincerely that the Constitution says that when a president, be it a Republican or a Democrat exceeds his authority and you can’t stop the president from exceeding his authority, then we do have what’s called impeachment,” Jones <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/mr-jones-shalalalalalalala#dhh91k" target="_blank">said</a>. “My problem with what my party is trying to do to sue is it will cost the taxpayers between two and three million dollars...use the Constitution, that's what it's there for.”

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah)

Chaffetz has said Obama's impeachment was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/14/jason-chaffetz-obama-impeachment_n_3276107.html" target="_blank">"within the realm of possibilities." </a>  Chaffetz later <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/20/jason-chaffetz-obama-impeachment_n_3308721.html" target="_blank">doubled down</a> on the possibility, claiming the Obama administration was "embroiled in a scandal that they created."  "It's a cover-up," Chaffetz said of the administration's response to the attack in Benghazi. "I'm not saying impeachment is the end game, but it's a possibility, especially if they keep doing little to help us learn more."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)

Paul has said talk of impeachment is premature.    "We need to figure out the truth of what happened [with the IRS scandal] before we go anywhere else," Paul <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/20/rand-paul-impeachment_n_3308852.html" target="_blank">said</a>.

"There's a few chapters before we get to the last one," Priebus <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/20/rand-paul-impeachment_n_3308852.html" target="_blank">told reporters in May</a>. "So it's up to us to connect the dots first."

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)

Inhofe then hinted at impeachment, claiming that “people may be starting to use the ‘I word.’”

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.)

When asked in May, Cole <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/14/tom-cole-benghazi_n_3275218.html" target="_blank">did not support</a> fellow Republicans' suggestion that Benghazi resembled the Watergate scandal. He went on to say that he did not think Obama should be impeached over the controversy.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R)

Appearing on a radio program, Huckabee <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/06/mike-huckabee-impeachment_n_5655636.html?utm_hp_ref=mike-huckabee" target="_blank">said</a> that President Barack Obama had done things that were "worthy" of impeachment, but suggested that impeaching the president would be pointless because Democrats in the Senate would block it.  Huckabee later <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/mike-huckabee-impeachment_n_5669605.html?utm_hp_ref=mike-huckabee" target="_blank">retreated</a> from the comments, saying: "I think impeachment ought to be something that would be used in the rarest and most unusual of circumstances, and because a person has perhaps exceeded his authority, and in this case I believe the president has in a number of areas, doesn't mean that's advisable."

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
