Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview released on Sunday that he wants to debate Hunter Biden over who has benefited the most financially off of their fathers' time in office.

The moment came shortly after Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei pressed Trump Jr. about the type of attacks former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenCast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response Biden tells CNN town hall that he has benefited from white privilege MORE can expect to see if he wins the Democratic Party's presidential nomination later this year.

Trump Jr. said he thinks “a big part” of the attacks the former vice president will face later this year will be about his son Hunter Biden and his business dealings overseas.

“Listen, I think it's got to be a big part,” he said during “Axios on HBO.” “I was an international business person before my father got into politics. That's what we did. I'm not going to say I haven't benefited from my father's last name, just like Hunter Biden did. I'd be foolish to say that. But I haven't benefited from my father's taxpayer-funded office, OK?

“We stopped doing any new international business deals when my father won the presidency. So you know what would be great? I'll let you host it,” he told VandeHei. “You moderate a debate between Hunter Biden and myself. Come on. Let's do it.”

“No, no, seriously. We can go full transparency,” he continued. “We show everything, and we can talk about all of the places where I'm supposedly grifting but Hunter Biden isn't. I would love to do it.”

“As it relates to the grifting, they're saying we're profiting off of the presidency. Let's talk about it,” Trump Jr. added.

VandeHei then shifted the focus back to Trump Jr., asking, “But you profited, don't you?”

“I don't know that I've profited off of the presidency,” Trump Jr. said.

“You have a bestselling book,” VandeHei continued. “You do paid speeches. Don’t you co-own the Trump Hotel?”

I do a lot. I don't even do the international ones anymore.”

“But you make some money off it, right?” VandeHei asked.

“Nothing that I haven't done before,” Trump Jr. retorted. “And again, if you looked at my tax returns, which maybe we could talk about in this debate.”

“So, you'll release your tax return?” VandeHei asked. “You would release your tax returns, and he would debate you? You would really debate him?”

“I'd 100 percent debate him,” Trump Jr. said. “Let's talk about who profited off of whose public service. Happy to do it. Let's make it happen."

The president also came under fire recently after new documents showed that his company has charged the Secret Service more than $600,000 in lodging fees at his properties over the last three years.

Eric Trump said previously that if his father travels, “they stay at our properties for free.”

“So everywhere that he goes, if he stays at one of his places, the government actually spends, meaning it saves a fortune because if they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know we charge them, like, $50," he said.
