As much as Donald Trump may try to argue otherwise, Vice President Joe Biden is unconvinced former President Bill Clinton's infidelity is relevant to the 2016 presidential election, or to wife Hillary Clinton's shot at winning the White House. "It shouldn't matter," Biden said in an excerpt of his Meet the Press interview with Chuck Todd, set to air Sunday.
While Biden was frank about the fact he "can't make an excuse" for Bill's "conduct," he insisted that the former president had already "paid a price." "He was impeached," Biden said. "And he expressed his deep sorrow and acknowledged what he did."
