Donald Trump says he could ‘certainly’ ask Xi Jinping to investigate Joe Biden

The U.S. President told reporters at the White House that Ukraine should probe Joe Biden and his son, Hunter — and that China should follow suit.

A mural entitled ‘Smart Love’ by Italian street artist TvBoy is displayed on a wall in Milan on June 29, 2019 and depicts China’s President Xi Jinping holding an i-Phone smartphone kissing U.S. President Donald Trump holding an Huawei smartphone.

Donald Trump said October 3 he would “certainly” think about approaching Chinese leader Xi Jinping to investigate the U.S. President's domestic political rival Joe Biden.

Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House that Ukraine should probe the frontrunning Democratic presidential hopeful and his son, Hunter Biden — and that China should follow suit.

“Certainly — something we can start thinking about,” the President said of asking China to get involved. “If it were me I would recommend that they start an investigation into the Bidens,” he added.

Mr. Trump provoked a firestorm of outrage and triggered an impeachment probe after it emerged that he had asked Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens. It is illegal to ask for foreign help in a U.S. election.
