- U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday offered a full-throated defense of President Donald Trump’s call for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son’s dealings with Ukraine, saying the American people deserve to know the facts.
In a phone call in July, President Donald Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Biden, the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his son Hunter. Trump has repeatedly suggested Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a top prosecutor because the prosecutor was investigating a Ukrainian gas company where Hunter Biden sat on the board, a claim for which the president has offered no evidence.
“My predecessor had a son who was paid $50,000 a month to be on a Ukrainian board at the time that Vice President Biden was leading the Obama administration’s efforts in Ukraine, I think is worth looking into,” Pence said. “And the president has made it very clear that he believes ... other nations around the world should look into it as well.”
