David, It didn't. It moved forward in Biden's administration. That doesn't mean that Putin is a Biden fan. Putin never realized that the Ukrainians would put up the kind of fight that they are now. He never realized that the US would arm the Ukrainians to the extent that they are. He never realized that his aggression would cause more European countries to join NATO.
On the other hand, the former president has always been an admirer of Putin, as well as other so called strong men. I believe from everything Trump has said, that he would love to have the kind of power that Putin has. He has said that when president, he would come after all those that come after him. He has said that he would like to have complete power, because no president could do a good job without having that kind of power. He commented that he would encourage Russia to attack members of NATO that don't pay their full dues. These are not the attitudes of a man that doesn't approve of Putin. There is just too much other evidence to list here.

Did White House, FBI, or DOJ 'Confirm' Authenticity of Ashley Biden's Diary?

Published Mar 27, 2023

Key facts:

While there is circumstantial evidence and reporting that strongly suggests a diary allegedly belonging to Ashley Biden is authentic, no law enforcement or government agency has "confirmed" its authenticity, or its contents.
Claims that a court or special master have made statements that confirm the diary's authenticity are a misreading of legal documents.
On Oct. 26, 2020, obscure right-wing outlet National File published what it alleged to be the entire contents of a diary kept by U.S. President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, when she lived in Delray Beach, Florida. Purportedly left behind in the apartment she was staying in, the diary was quickly passed around among some anti-Biden activists, where it has become the source of claims of abuse and trauma she endured by the president, among other things.

Since National File's publication, debates about the document's authenticity have surrounded the diary. It was allegedly left behind in an apartment Biden was staying at in Florida and ultimately sold by the person who found it to right-wing activist group Project Veritas. Project Veritas declined to publish the diary, which inspired a "whistle-blower" from that organization to deliver the document to National File.

In October 2021, the FBI had opened an investigation into "stolen property," including a journal, belonging to Ashley Biden after "a representative of the Biden family reported that several of Ms. Biden's personal items had been stolen in a burglary." In mid-November 2021, the FBI raided the homes of several employees of Project Veritas as part of that investigation. In August 2022, the two individuals who found, transported, and sold the alleged diary to Project Veritas pleaded guilty to transporting stolen property across state lines.
