President Donald Trump publicly encouraged both Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Ten former White House chiefs of staff slammed the idea of asking a foreign country for political help, saying that they couldn't recall any circumstances during their administrations when it would have been considered a possibility.
"I served three presidents in the White House and don't remember even hearing any speculation to consider asking for such action," said Andrew Card Jr., the longest-serving chief of staff in the past 60 years. He ran President George W. Bush's administration from 2001 to 2006.that it"did not happen" and"would not have happened" during Reagan's administration.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House last week, Trump doubled down on his calls for Ukraine to look into the Bidens over what he claims were corrupt business deals. His controversial communication with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the matter already prompted the House of Representatives to launch an official impeachment inquiry.
