Already facing the threat of impeachment, Trump appeared to double down on the tactic by calling for China to launch an investigation into Joe Biden.
WASHINGTON – Already facing the threat of impeachment for his interactions with Ukraine, President Donald Trump embraced the same tactic Thursday by publicly calling for China to launch an investigation into his leading Democratic rival.
"Russia. Ukraine. China. How far will Trump really go to sell out America’s sovereignty to stay in office?" tweeted Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat. Story continuesSen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said he read Trump’s statement as using the leverage of trade threats for personal gain. Like the Ukraine call, Trump's remarks on China came within minutes of him raising U.S. power to punish its foes. Trump has often relied on a carrots-and-sticks approach in his trade policy, but his words Thursday took on new meaning for some critics given the ongoing scandal. Others pointed to Trump's controversial statement in 2016 when he hinted that Russia could"find the 30,000 emails that are missing" from Democrat Hillary Clinton's email server.
