Schiff also addressed the president’s evident interest in dredging up controversy on Joe Biden, the Democrats’ 2020 front-runner.
On Friday, The New York Times reported that Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was planning to fly out to Ukraine to investigate the same newspaper’s story on Biden, who, as Barack Obama‘s veep in 2016, allegedly threatened to withhold $1bn (£768m) in US loan guarantees unless Ukraine removed a top prosecutor who was investigating an energy company Biden’s own son Hunter was a board member of.
The trip has since been cancelled.
Trump nevertheless thinks it would be “appropriate” for him to talk to attorney general Barr about opening an investigation into Biden.
In an interview with Politico, Trump said he and Barr had not considered an inquiry into his potential 2020 opponent but did not rule it out either, saying “certainly it would be an appropriate thing to” discuss.
