While media coverage over his dealings with Ukraine is swamping Trump, it also has singed Biden’s son and is raising questions about Biden’s presidential campaign
DES MOINES — Joe Biden moved quickly under an arch of balloons and a marching band, past an ice cream truck and dozens of supporters — then he lit into Donald Trump.
Trump has claimed that as vice president Biden demanded Ukraine fire a state prosecutor who was investigating a gas company where Biden's son held a board position. Multiple news organizations this week reported that Trump had repeatedly pressed Ukrainian authorities to investigate the allegations in a phone call.
“You should be looking at Trump,” Biden snapped. “Everybody looked at this and everybody who’s looked at it said there’s nothing there. Ask the right question.” The offensive is a sign Biden’s campaign "learned an important lesson from 2016," said Karen Finney, a former spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton.
Talk of Trump’s conversations with Ukraine served as a backdrop throughout Saturday’s steak fry, where a record 12,200 people turned out to what’s typically a light-hearted political event filled complete with sign wars, rallies, and a steady stream of political speeches. Sen. Elizabeth Warren over social media called Congress “complicit” by failing to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. But reporters still later asked her to weigh in about the president’s conversations about Biden’s son.
