Democratic Presidential Candidates Assail Trump as Corrupt

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - Seven leading U.S. Democratic presidential candidates
   squared off in a spirited debate late Thursday, with quick attacks on
   the newly impeached President Donald Trump as the most corrupt leader
   in the country's history.

   All the challengers seeking the Democratic nomination to take on Trump
   in next year's national election said they supported the House of
   Representatives' adoption 24 hours before of two articles of
   impeachment accusing Trump of abusing the power of the presidency to
   benefit himself politically and obstruction of Congress.

   "We need to restore the integrity of the presidency," said former Vice
   President Joe Biden, the consistent front-runner in national polls of
   Democrats for the party's nomination. Later, Biden, commenting on the
   sharp political division in the U.S. between Republicans and Democrats
   that has widened in the three years of the Trump presidency, said he
   refuses "to accept the premise that we can never get together again."
