Biden: New Trump campaign attack ad proves he's 'terrified'
https://www.apnews.com/1508ccda2d944f61b4fdeb64359da9edNEW YORK (AP) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Bidens campaign says President Donald Trumps misleading new television ad is proof that Trump is in a panic and knows Biden would beat him like a drum.
Bidens 2020 campaign issued a statement Friday responding to news that Trump is spending $8 million on an ad highlighting the former vice presidents work fighting corruption in Ukraine. The ad campaign, which includes an additional $2 million from the Republican National Committee targeting Democrats in key districts, come as Trump fends off an impeachment probe by House Democrats after a whistleblowers complaint accused Trump of repeatedly pressing Ukraines leaders to investigate Biden and his son Hunter.
The Trump ad highlights Bidens efforts to make U.S. aid to Ukraine contingent on that country firing its chief prosecutor and claims that the fired prosecutor was investigating Hunter Biden. It also accuses Democrats of trying to steal the 2020 election by impeaching Trump.
But in fact, the prosecutor had failed to pursue any major anti-corruption investigations, leaving Ukraines international donors deeply frustrated. In pressing for the prosecutors ouster, Biden was representing the official position of the U.S. government, which was shared by other Western allies and many in Ukraine.
Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in the statement that the new ad campaign is proof that Trump is in a panic. She said Trump is trying to pick his opponent, and he will fail. Donald Trump is terrified of Joe Biden because the Vice President would beat him like a drum.

Link to tweet
I think its very clear that the president is very afraid of Joe, said Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). And so hes going after Joe and his family for political purposes and Ill stand with Joe against any president who acts that way.

Tom Steyer backs rival Joe Biden around impeachment inquiry, says he 'should be left out of this'
This is an attempted smear by the Trump campaign. Just the way he tried to smear Hillary Clinton, Steyer said in an interview with Yahoo News Thursday, defending his political rival. I think that Mr. Biden should be left out of this. I dont think hes done anything wrong. I think a bunch of newspapers looked at it and decided he hadnt done anything wrong.

Herr Drumpf's terror began when he rang Speaker Pelosi, seriously believing that he could cut a deal with her on Ukraine. Shockingly, he never knew that, before entering senior leadership in the House, she served in intelligence for 25 years.
