The democratic presidential candidate, Biden calls for a Trump charge

Feb 16,2020 6:58 am

Joe Biden has his First Call -up for Donald Trump 's accusation and told a rally that The President has "already condemned yourself."

The former US Vice-President is one of the democratic leaders in the 2020 presidential election.

His party, the introduction of a charge request over claims that Mr Trump set illegal under pressure to investigate foreign leaders, Biden is Lord and his son.

Mr Trump denies wrongdoing and has dismissed the probe as a "witch-hunt".

On Tuesday, the White house said it would not cooperate, argue that the procedure was unconstitutional.

addressing supporters in New Hampshire , Mr. Biden said, The President had already ". violated his oath of office" and "the accused, through obstruction of justice, the meet refuses to, with a congressional inquiry"

It was his most powerful response to date.

Previously, the former Vice President had gone only so far to a request to gathering facts, even as his top Democratic rivals, calling for impeachment.

Shortly after Mr Biden spoke, Mr Trump hit Biden back in "Sleepy Joe" and his "failure" campaign.

Why is it an indictment request?

The Democratic-led investigation is trying to determine whether or not the Republican President held back almost $400 million (£327m) in the help to push Ukraine's President in the initiation of an investigation, the Mr Biden and his son.

Hunter Biden was on the Board of a Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

In a telephone conversation on 25 July, Mr Trump asked to check the newly-elected Vladimir Zelensky, the former US Vice-President .

A whistleblower's concerns about the call, and the democratic leader of The House of representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi , announced a formal impeachment inquiry in the last month.

Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi answers to questions

When Hunter Biden , the company entered in the year 2014, there will be questions about a potential conflict of interest for his father were.

But there is no evidence of misconduct on the part of the three-piece.

On Tuesday, the White house released an eight-page letter to the top Democrat and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , calling the request "constitutionally invalid".

He continued: "in order to fulfill its obligation to The American People . President Trump and his government on their party political and unconstitutional investigation under these circumstances. "

Ms Pelosi dismissed The Letter as "patently false".

A self-inflicted wound

the analysis of Jonathan Turley , a lawyer,

a letter, of the law concern about the lack of a vote and the secrecy of the proceedings. The Democrats have, the Republicans are limited in their efforts to question witnesses and secure material. However, this is not a legitimate basis for the refusal of cooperation or the provision of clearly material evidence.

The Letter emphasized that a lack of due process in the proceedings. Still not in The Constitution explicitly, something other than a vote of The House on impeachment itself, and a majority of the threshold value for each of the referral of The Matter to The Senate for trial.

This is a constitutional function of the highest order for the Congress. It is a legitimate basis for the congressional investigation, under the supervision and prosecution authority. If these allegations of self-dealing, proved to be a basis for the indictment could be.

A President can't just marbles pick up and leave The Game , because he does not like The Other players. A refusal to cooperate with a constitutional representative process can be an abuse of power.

The Letter adds another avoidable self-inflicted wound, which a White house that seems intent on counter-punching in an indictment.

What is the question of trust?

the indictment is The First part to remove the cost of a two - stage political process, by the Congress, a President from office can.

to pass If the representatives vote in The House indictment, which forced The Senate to hold a trial.

A Senate that votes to convict by a two-thirds majority and The President - in this case, is Unlikely , since Mr. Trump controls the party in The Chamber .

Only two US presidents in History - Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were indicted, but none was convicted and removed.

President Nixon resigned before he could be indicted.
