Biden Fires Back At Trump: ‘You’re Not Going To Destroy Me’

Former Vice President Joe Biden has fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump’s repeated efforts to launch foreign investigations into the activities of the Biden family.

Biden declared Wednesday, “You’re not going to destroy me and not going to destroy my family.” Biden said the requests for probes are part of Trump’s 2020 presidential candidate election strategy to disqualify Biden. 

Mr. President, you cannot extort foreign governments to help you win re-election. It’s an abuse of power. It violates your oath of office. And it jeopardizes our national security. I know you want to rig the primary and pick your opponent, but I’m not going anywhere. https://t.co/LZQ8W3fmU6

After Trump urged the Ukrainian President to search for additional information about the Biden’s activities in Ukraine, the House launched an impeachment inquiry. The president then suggested that China should launch another investigation into the Biden family, stating that “what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”

Trump insists he is merely attempting to unveil the Biden family’s repeated acts of foreign corruption. He claims that Biden aided his son, Hunter Biden, a board-member of Burisma Holdings, a private Ukrainian natural gas company, by pressuring Ukraine to fire a top-prosecutor involved in a 2016 investigation launched on the company. Biden has rejected all of these charges. 

President Trump asked a foreign government to interfere in our elections, and now he’s spending $10 million on attack ads against me. It’s clear that he is trying to influence the primary and pick his opponent.

Why? Because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum.
