The House Oversight Committee’s hearing over a federal investigation into Hunter Biden led to debate between Democrats and Republicans over the significance of his tax crimes.
“It sounds like Hunter Biden’s taxes were subject to a great deal of scrutiny and rigorous review by a large team of expert investigators who had experience working complex cases. … The time, personnel and all the resources devoted to this investigation make it abundantly clear that this investigation was taken seriously by both the IRS and DOJ,” said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton .
But House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan , who also sits on the Oversight Committee, mischaracterized the letters, arguing that Weiss “change[d] his story.” Whether Weiss had interest in either of the two statuses is largely of interest to Republicans as a way to forward a potential impeachment inquiry into Garland, as he assured lawmakers that Weiss had “full authority … to bring cases in other districts if he needs to do that.”Shapley also undercut another key factor fueling the GOP’s interest in impeaching Garland, saying he has no evidence that Garland intentionally misled Congress about Weiss’s authority.
Ziegler in his testimony asserted he still believes a more independent status is needed by those handling the investigation.Greene overshadows hearing with ‘parental discretion advised’ momentPerhaps the biggest surprise in the hearing came when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene brought sexually explicit — but censored — posters of Hunter Biden in to make her point.
Her focus on the explicit and salacious history of Biden, who has been public about his struggles with addiction, stands in contrast to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s past indications that the focus of the committee’s investigation of the Biden family’s business dealings would not focus on his personal actions.
