President Trump calls on another nation to probe former Vice President Joe Biden: China. Trump is already ensnarled in an impeachment investigation over his request of Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019, before boarding Marine One for a short trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md., and then on to Florida.
“China should start an investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said in remarks to reporters outside the White House. Trump said he hadn’t directly asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to investigate Biden and his son Hunter but said it’s “certainly something we could start thinking about.” Trump’s requests for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to dig up dirt on Biden, as well as Giuliani’s conduct, are at the center of an intelligence community whistleblower complaint that sparked the House Democratic impeachment probe last week.
“I have a lot of options on China, but if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous, tremendous power,” Trump said.
