Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden says he’s the reason for the impeachment probe.
Biden was referring to the impeachment inquiry launched against President Donald Trump following the release of a whistleblower complaint that alleged Trump pressured Ukraine’s leader to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, for corruption.
The former vice president slammed Trump for asking foreign governments to investigate his family.
"It's gotten so far now, if you don't move on it, then what do we say to the rest of the world about who we are?" Biden said Sunday at the United Food and Commercial Workers union presidential forum in Iowa.
"What do you say about opening the gates and saying, 'Come on in, get involved in our elections?' What do you do?"
Biden also said if he gets elected that his associates and family members wouldn’t work for foreign companies.
"I can tell you now, if I am your president -- next president -- I'm going to build on the squeaky clean, transparent environment that we had in the Obama-Biden White House," he said.
Hunter Biden earlier Sunday announced he would resign from the board of a Chinese-backed private equity company at the end of October.
