Now that President Trump has agreed to release the full, unredacted transcript of his call to the president of the Ukraine, catching Dems off guard by showing his cards and that he’s got NOTHING to hide, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel says it’s a two-way street!
McDaniel has announced a call by the RNC for Joe Biden to release his call transcripts of phone calls he has made with Ukrainian and Chinese leaders to prove his claim that he is innocent in the accusations against him regarding his son’s involvement with a Ukrainian energy company.
Check out McDaniels’ full statement here:
Biden is probably wishing the whistleblower complaint never happened at this point!
My, how it has backfired!
Townhall has more on the RNC's request for Biden to release his call transcripts:
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Tuesday called on former Vice President to release transcripts of his calls with Ukrainian and Chinese leaders. Biden is accused of pulling strings for his son, Hunter, to benefit a Ukrainian oil company whose board he sat on.
Democrats have argued President Donald Trump abused his political power and powers of office by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens for alleged corruption.
"First it was the Russia hoax. Now it’s the Ukraine hoax," McDaniel said in as statement. "Once again, Joe Biden has shown he is just as extreme as the rest of the 2020 Democrats who are desperate to bring President Trump down. Instead of backing a baseless impeachment effort, Biden should be answering for the only scandal that exists: Why a corrupt Ukrainian company paid his son $50,000 a month to lobby the Obama-Biden administration, and why Biden threatened the Ukrainians if they failed to fire a prosecutor investigating the company."
The Biden campaign isn't too happy and is already refusing to oblige the RNC's request.
Politico has more details on the Biden campaign's response to the call for the transcripts to be released:
The Biden campaign slammed the Republican National Committee on Tuesday night for urging former Vice President Joe Biden to release the transcripts of his calls with Ukrainian and Chinese leaders, saying it would not be legal or even physically possible for Biden to do that.
“Imagine our disbelief that Republicans called for Joe Biden to break the law and release classified transcripts he doesn’t have access to or permission to release, given their track record for holding politicians who commit crimes accountable and their general ethical and moral conduct across the board,” Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo said in a statement provided exclusively to POLITICO.
On Tuesday afternoon, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel called for Biden to release the transcripts of his calls during his years as VP “while his son was conducting shady business deals in those countries.” There’s no indication that Hunter Biden did anything illegal in his business dealings in Ukraine.
“With their newfound sense of transparency, will they also ask President Donald Trump to release his tax returns, something he promised to do nearly four years ago?” Ducklo added.
