CNN host Jake Tapper confronted Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin over the official’s defense of President Donald Trump’s actions in relation to former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine.
It’s so nasty they have to go after Joe Biden’s son. Joe already had to have funerals for 2 of his 4 children. Can they lay off his family? What is wrong with these people? It’s terrible politics on their part.
Just to point out using Biden and Ukraine as the situation is not accurate. Please call it what it is Trump Ukraine whistleblower scandal, if you will (@Kate_Riga24)
“What I do find inappropriate is the fact that Vice President Biden at the time’s son [sic] did very significant business dealings in Ukraine,” Mnuchin said during a Sunday appearance on “State of the Union.” “I, for one, find that to be concerning and to me that is the issue perhaps that should be further investigated.”
Trump has a DOJ and the FBI (that’s Federal Bureau of Investigation) as part of the Executive Branch of government. If this was such a big fucking deal, why was no investigation started, oh … sometime in the spring of 2017 or in 2018 or in the spring of 2019 before Biden became a candidate?
And, why did trump send his personal criminal (nut job) attorney? BTW, just as it is inappropriate for him to sic the law on people he doesn’t like here, it is even worse when offered as a bribe internationally.
And not to point to the obvious, but in addition to Jared and Ivanka, Trump himself has continued to have business dealings with foreign governments. And used his office to promote and solicit business (see hosting G7 meeting, military stopovers, Russian oligarchs buying apartments, favorable loans, etc).
