A 'corrupt family occupies the White House'

Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has accused the Bidens of acting like "a criminal family in the old-fashioned mafia sense” during a radio interview.

Mr Gingrich was speaking to John Catsimatidis on his WABC radio program when he accused Joe Biden of misusing the office of vice president.

“It is the most astonishingly deep corruption of the White House in American history. And Biden just cheerfully lies about it every single day. And because the news media wants to protect him, they refuse to do the kind of investigation it should,” Mr Gingrich said.
