President Trump in a campaign in Georgia accused the family of his rival Joe Biden of “corruption” and demanded that the Democratic candidate be locked up.

“Lock up Biden. Lock up Hillary,” President Trump announced on the night of 10/16 at the campaign in the city of Macon, Georgia. In response to the call from the head of the White House, the crowd of supporters also shouted “lock him up”, demanding the imprisonment of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“In recent months, we have learned that Joe Biden is a corrupt politician. The Biden family is a criminal empire,” Trump told his supporters, but did not provide any evidence.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump also routinely called for the imprisonment of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for using her personal email to work while she was secretary of state. However, this was his first call to do the same with former Vice President Biden.

In 2016, the FBI did not propose to prosecute Clinton because she sent a small amount of confidential email through a private server at her home in New York.

President Trump’s comments come after the New York Post earlier this week revealed emails from Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, suggesting he used to take advantage of special access. he parted ways with his father to introduce him, then vice president, to an executive from a Ukrainian gas company under surveillance at the time.

However, Biden’s election campaign denied information from the New York Post, confirmed in the recorded work schedule, he has never met the aforementioned Ukrainian businessman.

“I have no comment. Just another smear campaign,” Biden said Oct. 16 when asked about the New York Post newsletter.
