Dateline: 4 October 2019 - Los Angeles
Los Angeles - 4 October 2019
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Biden, Democratic Presidential Candidate:
"All this talk of the president about corruption comes from the most corrupt president we've had in modern history. He's the definition of corruption. He's corrupted the agencies of government from the Defense Department, from the State Department, from the Justice Department all about making sure that he, in fact, allows somebody else to pick his opponent for him. That's what this is about. And I am not going to stand for it. And I'm not going to respond to it. I'm not going to talk about anything other than what the facts are. He's indicted himself by his own statements. This is not about me it's not about my son. There's not a shred of evidence of anything been done that was wrong."

"I said from the beginning the constitutional process notwithstanding what he calls it. He calls the impeachment ... a coup, a coup. He talks about how we should handle whistleblowers. He talks about there will be a civil war. This is the guy this unhinged. He is unhinged. I worry about what he's going to do. Not about me or my family. I'm worried about what he'll do in the next year in his presidency. As this thing continues to rot on his watch."
"I'm a former vice president. I know what occurred in Ukraine. I know what occurred in terms of China. I know what occurred in terms of Russia. This is a president trying to get three of our most -- two of our most serious competitors and not allies to decide this election. Decide who he runs against. This guy, like all bullies he's a coward. He does not want to run against me. That's what this is about."
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden responding to the ongoing impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump says President Donald Trump is "unhinged" and he says "I'm worried about what he'll do in the next year in his presidency. As this thing continues to rot on his watch."
Former Vice President Joe Biden tells reporters in Los Angeles on Friday that "All this talk of the president about corruption comes from the most corrupt president we've had in modern history. He's the definition of corruption."
Seemingly heated Biden says that the impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump that has widened into a constitutional battle between the executive branch and Congress has unsettled the president.
A House committee has sent a subpoena to the White House demanding documents that could provide details on President Trump's effort to push Ukraine to produce information that could damage Joe Biden's presidential run.
Trump has resisted Democratic attempts to produce documents and administration witnesses for the impeachment inquiry.
Biden said, "I know what occurred in Ukraine. I know what occurred in terms of China. I know what occurred in terms of Russia. This is a president trying to get three of our most -- two of our most serious competitors and not allies to decide this election. Decide who he runs against. This guy, like all bullies he's a coward. He does not want to run against me. That's what this is about."
