CNN host Chris Cuomo pressed Democratic Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett on former Vice President Joe Biden’s stated refusal to comply with any potential Senate subpoena to testify in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

During a Friday night “Cuomo Prime Time” interview, Cuomo played footage of Biden’s doubling-down to the Des Moines Register on Friday about refusing to comply with a Senate subpoena.

“The idea of what Joe Biden is arguing here is exactly what you just impeached the president for, his feelings about the subpoena process and congressional oversight made him feel like not complying because he didn’t like what you were asking,” Cuomo told Doggett. “How is it any different than what Joe Biden is saying?”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
