Biden, the former vice president, has become swept up in a political furor over reports that Trump pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden and his son, an issue that has intensified Democratic calls for Trump’s impeachment. Biden is set to deliver a statement on the issue on Tuesday afternoon, where he will say “Trump’s latest abuses are on top of all of his prior abuses,” a campaign spokesman said.
Biden, who leads polls in the Democratic race to pick a challenger to Trump in the November 2020 election, has said before that impeachment might be necessary if Trump refused to cooperate with ongoing investigations.
