Former Vice President Joe Biden took a swipe at President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump on Thursday, after he said that it was "improper" that Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner had senior administration roles in the White House. Biden, the Democratic frontrunner of the 2020 race, also insisted that his children "are not going to have offices in the White House" if he is elected President.

Biden's statement comes after Trump repeatedly slammed his son Hunter accusing him of corruption. Hunter sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his father was Vice President under the Obama administration.

The 2020 contender, while appearing on CBS' 60 Minutes, said: "Look, I wasn't raised to go after the children. Their actions speak for themselves. I can just tell you this, that if I'm president, get elected president, my children are not going to have offices in the White House. My children are not going to sit in on Cabinet meetings."

"It's just simply improper because you should make it clear to the American public that everything you're doing is for them," Biden said making a reference to Ivanka and Kushner who are often pictured sitting at Cabinet meetings.

Biden also took a dig at Kushner's qualifications, suggesting that he has no expertise in the Middle East and should not be negotiating a peace plan with them.

Shortly after the former Vice President's statement, the Trump campaign responded to him, saying: "Joe Biden is correct on one point: Hunter Biden would never have an office in the White House because he's proven that his only qualification is being the son of Joe Biden."

Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, also took to Twitter to share a statement, saying: "Jared Kushner, meanwhile, paved the way for landmark criminal justice reform while Joe Biden authored the notorious Clinton Crime Bill. Ivanka Trump, in her own right, has proven herself to be an accomplished CEO and has made historic strides for women."
