For first time, Biden declares that Trump must be impeached

Al Jazeera  

US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Wednesday for the first time that President Donald Trump must be impeached for abusing the powers of his office to help his own reelection. “This is a president who has decided this nation doesn’t have the tools, the power, the political will” to punish bad behaviour, Biden said, cataloguing a litany of Trump’s actions that the former vice president said warrant impeachment. “It’s stunning and it’s dangerous because it directly threatens our democracy,” Biden said of Trump’s requests. 191009040900155 Biden on Wednesday again blasted Trump’s “lies and smears and distortions”, saying the president peddles them because he fears facing Biden in a general election. “We’re not going to let Donald Trump pick the Democratic nominee for president,” Biden declared.
