'She is running': Stephen Bannon says Hillary Clinton WILL try again to become President in 2020 and is waiting for Democrats to 'sacrifice' Joe Biden to take down Donald Trump in impeachment

Hillary Clinton will run again in 2020 after the Democrats sacrifice Joe Biden to bring down Trump in the impeachment scandal, Steve Bannon has claimed. 

The President's former chief strategist said that after Biden is out of the way the Democrats will shift allegiance to another candidate, including Hillary Clinton as one of the possible replacements. 

He then pointed to the former First Lady's packed list of media appearances this week as evidence she is not out of the running as she claims. 

He told Fox Business: 'They think they have a weak field and they're - it's like in chess - they're prepared to sacrifice a rook to take down a king. 

'They will throw Biden away to get to Trump and hope Elizabeth [Warren] or I even think Hillary Clinton or [Michael] Bloomberg or some centrist comes in here.'

Joe Biden is facing a host of questions about his son's job working for Ukrainian gas company Burisma while he was vice president. 

He is under scrutiny after President Trump sparked moves towards his impeachment by asking the new President of Ukraine to investigate those links for evidence of corruption.
