President Trump had a legal obligation to address the allegations of corruption against Joe Biden and his son, meaning his discussion of the matter with the Ukrainian president was justified, contends Gregg Jarrett, a legal analyst for Fox News.
"The president is duty-bound under the take-care clause of the Constitution, if he knows of a potentially corrupt act by a vice president trying to extort a foreign country to shut down a probe that involves his son," Jarrett told Sean Hannity Tuesday night.
Jarrett was referring to Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, which imposes a duty on the president to take due care while executing laws.
Jarrett said the media is "Focusing on what the president of the United States didn't do and ignoring what Joe Biden admits on camera doing."
Trump is being accused of threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine if its government didn't investigate the business dealings of Hunter Biden, but that's what Joe Biden himself did.
With attention focused on the release of the transcript of President Trump's July phone call, the Justice Department's criminal division said Wednesday it already has investigated the matter and concluded Trump did not violate campaign finance laws.
The transcript of the conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showed Trump talked about Biden but did not threaten to withhold military aid as Democrats charge.
