Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) doesn’t feel like former Vice President Joe Biden needs to be part of the narrative surrounding President Donald Trump‘s phone calls with Ukrainian leaders.
As IJR previously reported, Biden — in his own words — bragged about withholding aid to Ukrainian leaders if they did not remove a prosecutor from office. Some argue that the prosecutor needed to go because he was corrupt, while other claim Biden wanted him gone because he was investigating his son, Hunter Biden.
Harris similarly struggled to explain why Biden should not be part of this investigation into Ukrainian corruption with U.S. officials.
