Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden attempted to clarify his recent announcement that he'd refuse to comply with a subpoena should the Senate issue one forcing his testimony in the impeachment hearing.
The former vice president made the initial remarks in a recent interview with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register. His statements comes as some Senate Republicans are calling for Biden and his son Hunter to testify in the impeachment trial.
"I want to clarify something I said yesterday. In my 40 years in public life, I have always complied with a lawful order and in my eight years as VP, my office unlike Donald Trump and Mike Pence cooperated with legitimate congressional oversight requests," Biden tweeted Saturday morning. "But I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial. That is the point I was making yesterday and I reiterate: this impeachment is about Trumps conduct, not mine."
