Former Vice President Joe Biden returned to the First State to call for President Donald Trump to cooperate with Congress or face impeachment.
Democrats have seized upon a whistleblower complaint that alleges President Trump pressured Ukraine’s president to open an investigation of Biden and his son Hunter.
Biden said he can take the political attacks from the president, but this is about more than what he calls baseless allegations.
“But if we allow a president to get away with shredding the United States Constitution, that will last forever,” he said.
Delaware’s junior Sen. Chris Coons and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are urging its Republican Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham to investigate the Trump administration’s withholding of the whistleblower’s complaint and hear from Attorney General Bill Barr.
Biden said Congress is entitled to a whistleblower’s complaint connected to the allegations so it can fully investigate the president’s conduct.
“This isn’t a Democratic issue or a Republican issue," he said. "It is a national issue. It is a security issue.”
Sen. Tom Carper told Delaware Public Media earlier this week Congress must know the truth about what the President said on the call with Ukraine’s president.
