Democrats and Republicans both use a report from special counsel\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/robert-mueller\" data-sys=\"1\">Robert Mueller<\/a>\u00a0to fuel their arguments in favor or against Trump, but recently declassified documents prove the improper behavior falls on Biden and former President\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/barack-obama\" data-sys=\"1\">Barack Obama<\/a>, Trump claimed.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Trump told Fox Business&#8217; Maria Bartiromo that Biden and Obama &#8220;spited&#8217; his campaign and urged Attorney General Bill Barr to indict them because &#8220;we got plenty, you don&#8217;t need any more.&#8221; Without an indictment, Trump said, &#8220;we&#8217;ll get little satisfaction,&#8221; and he &#8220;won&#8217;t forget it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Trump&#8217;s called for Barr to indict Biden over the &#8220;Russia hoax,&#8221; as he refers to it. In August, he told Bartiromo that Barr had a chance to be the &#8220;greatest of all time&#8221; and that he has all of the answers showing that it goes &#8220;right to&#8221; Obama and Biden. But, if he chooses to be politically correct, he&#8217;ll end up being &#8220;just another guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed lazysize\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=900&amp;f=378df778ee763b9338f1f5125d0cc3c4 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=900&amp;f=378df778ee763b9338f1f5125d0cc3c4 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=900&amp;f=378df778ee763b9338f1f5125d0cc3c4 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=900&amp;f=378df778ee763b9338f1f5125d0cc3c4 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=450&amp;f=e2acd5163b29ec5a0f10921145ae9faf 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=450&amp;f=e2acd5163b29ec5a0f10921145ae9faf 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=450&amp;f=e2acd5163b29ec5a0f10921145ae9faf 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=450&amp;f=e2acd5163b29ec5a0f10921145ae9faf 1x\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.webp?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i1648062\" class=\"mapping-embed lazysize imgPhoto full lazyloaded\" title=\"donald trump joe biden indictment russia \" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5\" alt=\"donald trump joe biden indictment russia \" width=\"790\" height=\"560\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/1648062\/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictment-russia.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1026e08c211eec5e964f976fc62b14f5\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\"><span class=\"cap\">This combination of pictures created on September 29 shows Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump speaking during the first presidential debate at the Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland.
