Former Vice Pres. Joe Biden, on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' calls Pres. Trump's Ukraine call a 'blatant abuse of power.'
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday night that a newly released summary of a call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from July seems to show Trump committed an impeachable offense when he repeatedly encouraged Zelensky to investigate the former vice president and his son.
“And the thing I learned--we learned, we all learned recently is that statement, that the 2000-word statement released was that [he] talked about getting the Justice Department engaged in this. I mean, it's a--it's such a blatant abuse of power that it just--I don't think it can stand,” Biden said, referring to the revelation that Trump encouraged Zelensky to work with Attorney General William Barr on an investigation of Biden and his son, Hunter, on the call.
But Biden did acknowledge that if Donald Trump was not in the White House, he likely wouldn’t be a candidate in the 2020 race. "The way that he's trying to divide this country and the way he has pitted people against one another, and you saw, it didn't just end, you know, with Charlottesville, look what happened in El Paso recently,’ Biden said referring to the mass shooting that took place in August.
“Why aren't more Republicans standing up and saying, ‘Hey, this is just, we can't go along with this anymore?’” the late-night host asked.
