BREAKING: Biden accuses Trump of ‘abuse of power’ in whistleblower scandal

DES MOINES, Iowa – An angered Joe Biden on Saturday accused President Donald Trump of “using every element of his presidency to try and smear me,” and called for an investigation into Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president.

“You should be asking him the question: why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader?” Biden said. “This appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power. To get on the phone with a foreign leader who is looking for help from the United States and ask about me and imply things … this is outrageous. You have never seen anything like this from any president.

“You should be looking at Trump,” Biden said. “Everybody looked at this and everybody who’s looked at it said there’s nothing there. Ask the right question.” Biden briefly spoke to whether the episode was a possible preview of a general election battle against Trump. “I know what I’m up against, a serial abuser. That’s what this guy is. He abuses power any way he can,” Biden said. “This crosses the line.”

AntiTrumpReport Absolutely right. This cannot be left to die like his countless other scandals. I don't care what this corrupt senate does. He can pay for his crimes when he's out of office. The house must impeach! impeachtrump complicitGOP

I see what you’re doing JoeBiden. Well played. Taking the fight to realDonaldTrump rather than trying to play Mr. Nice Guy. Projecting

Mister Superstar mr. Fly this guy's a riot!!▫

😂😂😂. Better watch it sleepy Joe. This could backfire!

Now it there turn they can’t take it, that shows how much crap they gave President Trump day one of 1st day in office till now they can’t handle the fire.

Well yeah, that’s pretty obvious

Accuses? What? Just stating a fact, if you folks aren’t blind. Just Facts, Please!

we no longer have an accountable executive branch, and we might as well just admit that we have chosen to elect a monarch and be done with the illusion of constitutional order in the United States. - TOM NICHOLS

Ok corn pop. Fool.

This is like accusing the sun of rising in the East

shesnottrump The guy in the photo looks very presidential to me.

It’s a fact! Not an accusation!

So how does he feel about his own extortion of Ukraine in 2016?

Its smokin gropin joe biden with his shades that make him look cool. But Joe, your son has a history of hiding behind your coat tails and not very nice.

Tell it to SpeakerPelosi she does not care....

Prediction: The whistleblower story will turn out to be nothing.....again. But Biden will be exposed threatening to withhold 1 billion dollars unless the Ukrainian government fires the prosecutor investigating his son.

About time, Joe.

Maybe someone should look into it, rather than looking into the people that are saying someone should look into it.

George Conway Says Trump Should Be Impeached If He Sicced Ukraine On Joe BidenThe lawyer says the president should be ousted "without delay" if a report is true that Trump told Ukraine&39;s president to investigate the 2020 Democrat. Tяussians need to all be indicted for the Treason Conspiracy that they are guilty of for the last 40 years. Who cares about what some Deplorican says to another Deplorican. I only wish we had an accurate news channel that would not interview Deploricans at all. Arrested too Obama should have been impeached when he promised Putin more flexibility after the 2012 presidential elections. Of course mainstream media got whiplash looking the other way. Obama is the most coddled human being ever.
