The spot is a part of an $8 million previous ad buy announced by the campaign.

The ad mirrors a similar allegation from Trump on Tuesday night, in which he tweeted that the Democrats' impeachment inquiry was starting to resemble a "coup."

Trump and Republicans are on the defensive amid fallout after Pelosi announced last week that the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry amid allegations from a whistleblower that Trump sought to persuade Ukraine to investigate Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The president has since stepped up his attacks against Biden, zeroing in on the former vice president's efforts to pressure Ukraine to dismiss a senior prosecutor who at one point had investigated an energy company where Biden's son had served as a board member.

The Trump campaign released an ad on Friday accusing Biden of misconduct over his dealings with Ukraine.
