Joe Biden has accused Donald Trump of 'close to criminal' behaviour by intentionally misleading the public over the scale of the threat posed by coronavirus. 'He knew it, and did nothing,' the former vice president said at a CNN town hall event in Pennsylvania.
Biden said he did not trust Trump’s statements on the development of a coronavirus vaccine, accusing the president of politicizing the issue for the sake of his re-election.
'I don’t trust the president on vaccines. I trust Dr Fauci,' Biden said. 'We should listen to the scientists, not to the president.'
