Democrat Joe Biden claimed without evidence during an interview on Thursday that accusations being made against his son, who is under federal criminal investigation, were “foul play” being used to damage him politically.
Biden made the remarks during an interview with comedian Stephen Colbert, who teed up softball questions for the 78-year-old Biden.
