Russia hopes classified document scandal upends Biden, creates hurdle to more Ukraine funding

A Russian state-owned media outlet is putting out the idea that President Biden's classified document scandal will make it harder for him to secure funding for Ukraine.

"If there are any consequences for the president, they will be not so much legal as political. In other words, his reputation will suffer," said Andrey Kortunov, general director of the Russian International Affairs Council. "However, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN tend to support Biden. Most likely they will throw their weight behind the Democratic Party in its attempts to play down this scandal." Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.

But Kortunov predicted Republicans would use the scandal to "tip the political scales in their favor against the Democrats," while another analyst seemed to welcome the idea of the GOP using the scandal as a basis to stop sending military aid to Ukraine.
