If the House votes to impeach President Donald Trump and the Senate calls former Vice President Joe Biden as a witness, he wouldn’t voluntarily appear, he told reporters on Dec. 4.

Lawmakers in the Senate have said they plan on calling Biden, Biden’s son Hunter Biden, and the person who filed a complaint against Trump, among others, as witnesses if an impeachment trial were held.
