Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Long before former Vice President Joe Biden became President Donald Trump's reelection challenger — and even before Biden was VP — Trump chided him over a plagiarism scandal from earlier in his career. In a 2008 CNN interview unearthed by Insider, Trump calls Biden's history of plagiarism "a very bad statement." "You know, he's also been involved in pretty big controversy like plagiarism in college and various other things," Trump told Wolf Blitzer shortly after Biden was tapped as Obama's VP pick.
