Former U.S. President Joe Biden stated that the actions of his predecessor Donald Trump in directing Ukraine to find compromising information on Biden were "obvious and blatant." Biden accused Trump of attempting to discredit him prior to the 2020 elections. Democratic senators also expressed concern about this matter.
"This is not just something I can imagine," Biden said. "This is something that should concern all Americans, because if this is allowed, it will undermine the democratic principles of our country." Michael Warner, the Democratic leader in the Senate, noted that Trump should stop using his position to advance political goals at the expense of national security. Trump, for his part, referred to all these allegations as "nonsense."
