The Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has openly pleaded for the impeachment of US President Donald Trump. Trump has "self-incriminated" by obstructing justice and breaking his oath of office, Biden said in a campaign appearance in New Hampshire.
"He should be dismissed," Biden said. What Trump did was wrong, un-American, and threatening US democracy, said the former vice president.
Trump is destroying the constitution, Biden said. "We can not let him get away with it." The president has no decency and spreads nothing but lies about him and his son Hunter, said the Democrat. There is nothing wrong with these attacks.
Trump is accused in the Ukraine of abusing the power of his office. The US President had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj in a telephone conversation to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Biden is currently bidding for the presidential candidacy of the Democrats for the 2020 election, in which Trump also competes. According to the Democrats, Trump temporarily used blocked military aid for Ukraine as a lever. They have therefore initiated investigations into possible impeachment proceedings against Trump.
