Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Saturday clarified a prior statement that he would not comply with a Senate subpoena in President Trump's impeachment trial, saying that the matter concerns "Trumps conduct, not mine."
"I have always complied with a lawful order and in my eight years as VP, my office unlike Donald Trump and Mike Pence cooperated with legitimate congressional oversight requests," the former vice president said on Twitter.
"But I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial," he continued. "That is the point I was making yesterday and I reiterate: this impeachment is about Trumps conduct, not mine."

Your technical view is incomplete, it omits that Biden is central to the Democrat’s Trump abuse of power narrative, that the President somehow affirmed to President Zelensky to continue inquiries into corruption including Biden’s actions.
Hence, Biden’s corrupt behavior is central to the President’s defense.
Personally I would prefer to see criminal indictments of the whole gang, Biden included.
This re-enforces the position that there should be NO trial. McConnell should stick it up their asses with a voice vote. That way no bad guy gets a heads up as to what the good guys have on him/her in a forum that has no power to jail anybody. And yes it is about Trump’s conduct. Let them find out what Barr and Durham when they read it in an indictment.
I said “Come on ma’’ I said. Push up contest? Sure. I said.
Is that you Corn Pop?
Only the legitimate requests, hey Joe. Tick tock.
