According to the 1st 2020 Election debate transcript, Trump mentioned multiple times that Hunter Biden (VP/Presidentail Candidate Joe Biden's son) received 3.5 millions dollars
from the wife of Moscow's mayor

FACTS
The payment the president was referring to was an allegation detailed in a recent report into Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine released by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week, which was criticized for being politically motivated and resurfacing old claims that were initially raised during the Senate impeachment trial.
The report alleges an investment firm Hunter Biden “co-founded,” Rosemont Seneca Thornton, received “$3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the former mayor of Moscow.”
The alleged payment to the investment firm was part of a “consultancy agreement” with Baturina, though the report does not claim there’s anything illegal about the transaction.
Hunter’s lawyer, George Mesires, told the Washington Post Biden was not a “co-founder” of the investment firm and had “no interest in it”—and therefore [the] claim that he was paid $3.5 million is false.”

President Donald J. Trump: (22:09)
China ate your lunch, Joe. And no wonder your son goes in and he takes out billions of dollars. He takes out billions of dollars to manage. He makes millions of dollars. And also, while we’re at it, why is it just out of curiosity, the mayor of Moscow’s wife gave you a son three and a half million dollars?
Vice President Joe Biden: (22:28)
That is not true.
President Donald J. Trump: (22:28)
What did he do to deserve it? What did he do with-
Vice President Joe Biden: (22:31)
None of that is true.
President Donald J. Trump: (22:31)
… to deserve $183,000?
Chris Wallace: (22:31)
Sir, you’ve asked him a question, let him answer it.

Politico headline 9/16/20 Big Ten revives football season in Trump-backed turnaround
Big Ten League officials indicated in a news conference that starting the season was a result of advances in coronavirus testing and tracing capabilities.
The conference also faced pressure from players and coaches to resume play and was grappling with lost revenue while some other leagues pressed on with their seasons.

The report details multiple transactions between Hunter Biden, his uncle, James Biden, and James Biden’s wife, Sara, and entities associated with Ye Jianming, a businessman reportedly detained in China on suspicion of financial crimes, as well as Patrick Ho, an associate of Ye, who was convicted in 2019 of international bribery and money laundering.

Why did Hunter Biden need to be there ?
Trump’s fixation on Hunter Biden now stretches over a year; it was his request that the Ukrainian government open an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden that led to Trump’s impeachment in 2019.

“President Trump had nothing to do with our decision and did not impact the deliberations,” said the president of a Big Ten university who asked not to be identified, via NBC4 in Columbus.
“In fact, when his name came up, it was a negative, because no one wanted this to be political.”

CLAIM: Chris Wallace -- during an Interview on Fox News -- says President Trump started 'engaging with Biden... but it became clear, and clearer over time the President was determined to try to butt in or throw Joe Biden off."
FALSE-- In the first 10 minutes of the debate: CHRIS WALLACE interrupted TRUMP 3 times. TRUMP did not interrupt WALLACE. BIDEN interrupted TRUMP 9 times. TRUMP interrupted BIDEN 1 time.
THE TRUTH: JOE BIDEN and CHRIS WALLACE set the tone for the evening by interrupting TRUMP a combined total of 12 times in the first 10 minutes; while TRUMP clocked only a single interruption.
Biden started the interruptions first and early on in the debate.
Trump responded in kind.

Correct.
Confirmed by sportingnews: trump had nothing to do with it
According to a report by https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2020/09/16/big-ten-got-played-president-trump-and-hes-eager-celebrate/5821009002/ — citing sources with knowledge of Trump and Warren's discussion — the Big Ten did not request or accept any resources from the White House to help the conference return to football sooner. Instead, university presidents and chancellors made their decision based on information provided to them by the conference's "Return to Competition Task Force."
Moreover, a Big Ten president — speaking on the condition of anonymity — told NBC News on Sept. 16 that Trump did not affect deliberations among Big Ten university presidents and chancellors.
"President Trump had nothing to do with our decision and did not impact the deliberations," the anonymous president said. "In fact, when his name came up, it was a negative, because no one wanted this to be political."
