Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), a potential vice-presidential pick for Donald Trump, defended Trump's promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate President Joe Biden.
Vance argued that Trump's proposed investigation was justified because Biden had engaged in a "campaign of lawfare" against his political opponents and had overseen investigations into Trump during his presidency. He also pointed to the House Oversight Committee's findings of "corrupt business transactions" by Biden that may warrant further investigation.
However, critics argue that Trump's proposed investigation is not comparable to the investigations he faces. They point out that Biden appointed Merrick Garland as attorney general, who then initiated investigations into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents. These investigations were not prompted by Biden but by evidence and referrals from other sources.
Furthermore, critics argue that Republicans have already spent significant time and resources investigating Biden without finding any wrongdoing. They suggest that the continued calls for investigations are simply a way to delegitimize Biden and his presidency.
Vance's defense of Trump's proposed investigation highlights the ongoing partisan divide in American politics. It also raises questions about the potential for further political weaponization of law enforcement if Trump were to be re-elected.
