US President Trump calls on Ukraine, China to probe his Democratic rival and former vice president Biden amid unfolding impeachment inquiry against Trump
US President Donald Trump speaks during an event at The Villages retirement community in The Villages, Florida, US, on October 3, 2019.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Thursday as he departed for an event in Florida, Trump said, "China should start an investigation into the Bidens." Trump's comments came as he publicly acknowledged that his message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other officials was to investigate the 2020 Democratic presidential contender. "It's a very simple answer," Trump said of his call with Zelenskiy. "They should investigate the Bidens."
Though the timing raised concerns among anti-corruption advocates, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either the former vice president or his son.
