{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Fox News' Todd Piro hit the streets of New York City on Friday to find out how people really feel about the Trump impeachment inquiry -- and whether or not they believe there are other issues Washington should be focused on.

Impeachment has been the talk of Washington, with Trump ramping up his attacks on former Vice President Joe Biden Friday as he sought to fight political fire with political fire, accusing the Democratic presidential candidate of "pillaging" foreign countries while insisting his own controversial push for overseas governments to look into Biden dealings is about corruption and not politics.
“I don’t care about Biden’s campaign, but I do care about corruption,” Trump said. “I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about anything. I care about corruption.”
