Pair of tweets assert past compliance with legitimate congressional oversight requests, contend any subpoena from Senate Republicans for impeachment trial to be illegitimate
Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden greets people during a campaign stop at Tipton High School on December 28, 2019 in Tipton, Iowa.Joe Biden sought Saturday to clarify his assertion that if the Senate subpoenas him to testify in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, he will defy the order. But he did not clear up what he would do.
“Correct,” he said when asked if that was still his intent. “And the reason I wouldn’t is because it’s all designed to deal with Trump doing what he’s done his whole life — trying to take the focus off of him.”In a tweet Saturday, Biden said: “I want to clarify something I said yesterday.
“I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial,” he tweeted. “That is the point I was making yesterday and I reiterate: this impeachment is about Trump’s conduct, not mine.”
