Appearing visibly angry, Joe Biden told reporters that President Trump abused his power to smear him and called for an investigation into Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president.

Fielding questions Saturday in Iowa, the 76-year-old former vice president was asked if he had spoken to his son Hunter Biden about overseas business dealings. Biden, growing upset, said he had never spoken to his son about them.

“You should be asking him the question: Why is [Trump] on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader?” Biden said.

“Everybody looked at this, and everybody who’s looked at it said there’s nothing there. Ask the right questions,” Biden added, directing the response to the reporter who asked the question. “This appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power. To get on the phone with a foreign leader who is looking for help from the United States and ask about me and imply things … this is outrageous. You have never seen anything like this from any president.”

A whistleblower complaint from the intelligence community reportedly alleges that Trump urged President Volodymyr Zelensky, 41, to work with his attorney Rudy Giuliani to investigate Hunter Biden's ties to an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch.

Biden on Saturday repeated his call for Trump to release the transcript of the conversation in question so that lawmakers could investigate whether there was wrongdoing.

"Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum, and he’s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me," he said.

When asked about his family being dragged into presidential politics, Biden reiterated that he believes Trump abuses power.

“I know what I’m up against, a serial abuser. That’s what this guy is. He abuses power any way he can,” Biden said. “But this crosses the line.”
