Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden clarified his position on a suggestion he wouldn't comply with a potential subpoena to testify at President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate.

There is no legal basis for Republican subpoenas that would compel his testimony at the impeachment trial, said the 2020 presidential hopeful, who is campaigning in Iowa.
