Not appropriate for Trump to talk to AG about investigation into Biden: Schiff originally appeared on abcnews.go.comAfter President Donald Trump said it would be 'appropriate' for him to speak to his attorney general about initiating an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden'
After President Donald Trump said it would be"appropriate" for him to speak to his attorney general about initiating an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's diplomacy in Ukraine while Biden's son was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that such a move would not be appropriate and expressed concern that the attorney general -- who he said was lacking integrity --"just might do it.

"How about the underlying issue, though?" Stephanopoulos pressed."There's no public evidence that the vice president -- former vice president -- took any inappropriate action to help his son, but was it right for Hunter Biden to take a job like that in Ukraine while his father was engaged in diplomacy there?"
