Donald Trump Calls for AG Barr to Indict Joe Biden With 26 Days Until Election [View all]

Source: Newsweek

With less than one month until the election, President Donald Trump is calling for his attorney general to indict his challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, for the "greatest political crime in the history of our country."

Russia has plagued the Trump administration since he took office and accusations he colluded with one of America's top adversaries to win the election called the validity of his victory into question. Democrats and Republicans both use a report from special counsel Robert Mueller to fuel their arguments in favor or against Trump, but recently declassified documents prove the improper behavior falls on Biden and former President Barack Obama, Trump claimed.

On Thursday, Trump told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that Biden and Obama "spited' his campaign and urged Attorney General Bill Barr to indict them because "we got plenty, you don't need any more." Without an indictment, Trump said, "we'll get little satisfaction," and he "won't forget it."

Newsweek reached out to the Biden campaign for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

David Axelrod tweet about this story, minutes ago:







Ok, here’s the reality:
@POTUS is sick. He is taking drugs that could impact on his state-of-mind. And polls increasingly suggest that he is about to become the thing he can least abide: a loser.
Now it feels like he’s careening out of control.
