President Trump on Thursday called for Joe Biden and his son Hunter to testify as the president sought to deflect allegations of wrongdoing in Ukraine toward the Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump parroted a quote from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) asking what Hunter Biden does to earn money, tweeting that it was a “very good question.”
“He and Sleepy Joe must testify!” Trump tweeted, using a nickname to refer to the former vice president.

Neither of the Bidens are likely to testify in the House impeachment inquiry. While Republicans have the power to request a subpoena of witnesses, those requests are subject to approval by Democrats leading the investigation.
Still, the Bidens may face more scrutiny in the GOP-controlled Senate. The Washington Post reported that Kennedy and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) were among those suggesting that the Senate summon Hunter Biden to testify about his business dealings.
Some Republican senators were uncomfortable with the strategy, The Post reported.
