Biden and Trump have found themselves tangled in the same political mess. Trump is facing an impeachment inquiry for allegedly withholding aid from Ukraine in return for dirt on Biden. In turn, Biden is facing backlash for allowing his son to collect big checks from a Ukrainian natural gas firm while he served as a chief envoy for President Barack Obama — which is the basis for the scandal Trump wanted dirt on.
