Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday said the "media mob" may be focusing on allegations President Donald Trump made an inappropriate request to the Ukranian president, but the story opens up afresh allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden.
"Multiple reports now suggest that the so-called whistleblowers claim it surrounds the country of Ukraine," Hannity said on his program Friday night. "Now they're doing us a favor because they're now opening up a lot of questions we wanted to a cover for a long time.
"The boomerang comes right back on Biden, his family and the Democrats."
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who currently serves as Trump's personal lawyer, has suggested that Biden, when he was vice president, worked to shield his son, Hunter Biden, in a probe of a Ukrainian gas company to which he was linked.
Biden told reporters on Friday there is no credibility to the claim. And a Ukrainian official said earlier this year he had no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden.
"I didn't see anyone in the mob interested in that story but I do think the media mob, you have opened the door now for a national discussion about, well, what did Biden and his son do — and when did they do it?" Hannity said Friday. "And what kind of interference was the Ukraine involved in as relates to our 2016 election? Now we'll hopefully get to the truth."
He suggested the story is part of an effort by Democrats to impeach the president.
"This is what the mob does best — hyperventilating at the remote possibility that this unknown information will somehow lead to the impeachment that they've been craving (since) the day after Election Day 2016," he said. "This is a psychotic rage."
