Ted Cruz: 'Of course' Trump was wrong to ask China to probe Bidens

"It's not the business of foreign countries, any foreign countries, to be interfering in our elections," Cruz said.

Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday that it was wrong for President Donald Trump to call on China to probe former Vice President Joe Biden and his son in the Texas Republican's most direct rebuke of the president yet.

Asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" whether Trump's comments were "appropriate," Cruz said "of course not."

"Elections in the U.S. should be decided by Americans and it's not the business of foreign countries, any foreign countries, to be interfering in our elections," he said.

"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan then asked if it was improper for Trump to ask Ukraine to probe the Bidens, as he did in a July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy — a call that is now at the center of an impeachment inquiry.

You know that little thing about checks and balances. Only Congress can check the President and a compliant DOJ conducting unlawful activities, the Courts aren't going to do it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
