Former US President Joe Biden reacted to Donald Trump and other members of the Republican Party, They claimed that the use of a car was carried out by his staff without his knowledge when it came to pardon and punishment towards the end of his term.
“You are liar. And you know it,” he said in an interview with the “New York Times” about Trump and his allies who had claimed that he was incapable of acting. And I had no knowledge of the decisions that were made during his term. “They behaved so badly. And they lied through almost everything they do.
