(WRN) -U-S Senator Ron Johnson says he "wants the truth," and has no problem with the President asking China to investigate former vice-president Joe Biden and his son."I want to find out what happened during 2016. If there's wrongdoing, if there's potential criminal activity, the president of the United States is our chief law enforcement officer. We have cooperative agreements with countries to investigate potential crimes. So I don't think there's anytjhing improper about doing that. From my own standpoint, the last people I'd ask to investigate crimes would be China . . . I'm saying I don't think there's anything improper about it, the chief law enforcement officer, if there's a potentional crime, I'm not saying there is, there's nothing improper about asking another government where we have those type of investigative agreements with, to provide information for that investigation. That's the way things work."
"The American people have a right to know. Something wrong happened, as relates to politics in the 2016 election. We have a right to know that. And quite honestly I don't think the Democratic primay voters know if there's some scandal sitting outside there, whether it's in the Ukraine between vice president Biden's son, or in China, I would think they's want to know that before they start casting their ballots in the Democratic primary. All I want is the truth. I want to find out, and I'm actually sympathetic to President Trump after what he's gone through, because of this false narrative special counsel, what happened in 2016. DId something happen in Ukraine? I want to know, I think the American people want to know, I think it's legitimate for President Trump to want to know that. And if nothing happened, we need to know that as well, so we can move on."
The President has sought to implicate the Bidens in Ukrainian corruption. No credible evidence has surfaced yet of any illegal actions by Joe or Hunter Biden, in either China or Ukraine.
