Biden: Trump Is Using Michael Flynn Case to Divert Attention From His Coronavirus Response

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) is expressing his belief President Donald Trump is using former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to distract the American people from his coronavirus response efforts.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Biden if he knew about the investigation into Flynn and whether “anything improper” was done.

Biden explained he knew nothing about the moves to investigate Flynn — which he later added that he was “aware that they asked for an investigation” — and how this is just another matter Trump is using to distract from his plan to combat the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak.

“I know nothing about those moves to investigate 👤Michael Flynn number one. Number two, this is all about diversion,” Biden said.

He continued, “This is a game this guy plays all the time. The country is in crisis. We’re in an economic crisis, a health crisis, we’re in real trouble. He should stop trying to always divert from the real concerns of the American people.”
