Joe Biden expanded on his statement that he wouldn’t cooperate with a subpoena if he was called to testify in the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump. The 2020 presidential candidate had initially said that he wouldn’t testify while speaking with the Des Moines Register, and according to The Washington Examiner, he expanded on his statement in a series of tweets Saturday morning.
As Senate Republicans are suggesting that Biden should be forced to testify in the trial, the former Vice President responded that he wouldn’t honor a subpoena because it would take attention away from the focus on Trump, according to USA Today. Biden said that his appearance would be covered in the media as the main story, taking the focus off of the president’s trial.
After facing criticism for the comments, Biden took to social media to address the controversy, saying that he had always honored his legal obligations.
