Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was reprimanded by her Democratic colleagues for bringing “pornography” to an Oversight Committee hearing as she attacked Hunter Biden and accused him of being a sex trafficker.
The congresswoman held up a sign that showed Hunter Biden and a woman from behind wearing only a swimsuit, Greene says.
“Hunter Biden should be held accountable,” she said. “My Democratic colleagues act like they care about women’s rights.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., objected, claiming Greene violated House rules. Ranking Democrat Jamie Raskin, Md., intervened and asked Chairman James Comer to direct Greene not to refer to “pornographic exhibitions” that “may not be appropriate for children.”
“A bathing suit is not appropriate, Mr. Raskin?” Greene said.
“I would like the member to be directed not to present evidence that may not be appropriate for children,” Raskin said.
“It’s a swimsuit!” A swimsuit!’
“You are broadcasting the body of a naked woman,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“It’s a swimsuit. ‘You don’t have your glasses on, are you wearing them or not?’
“I have contacts, thanks,” AOC shot back.
“Congratulations,” said MTG.

Greene had accused Hunter Biden of sex trafficking and the Justice Department of a cover-up.
“Hunter Biden had escorts who traveled across state lines.” “These women are victims and these women are victims and the Justice Department is refusing to protect their rights,” she said.
IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler testified in June that the president’s son flew women across state lines for sex, potentially violating federal anti-human trafficking laws.
He and IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said Hunter Biden took business deductions disguised as “golf club memberships” that were actually related to a sex club and escort payments.
“It’s a swimsuit!” A swimsuit!’ Greene said
At another point in the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez warned Republicans to stop trusting Hunter Biden’s text messages and emails because he was a drug addict at the time he sent them.
“Much of the Republican case and evidence relied on the words of Hunter Biden.” Hunter Biden said this, Hunter Biden said that. Therefore, the case is closed, there is something true,” the New York Democrat remarked during the Oversight Committee’s first impeachment hearing.
“It’s common knowledge that Hunter Biden, unfortunately, was dealing with a substance abuse disorder, right?” she asked Democratic witness Professor Michael Gerhardt.
“Right,” he replied.
“He’s under indictment, right?” the congresswoman asked.
“Right,” said Gerhardt.
“Is this a reliable witness?” she then asked.
“Probably not,” Gerhardt said.
Republicans often point to emails and text messages found on the laptop Hunter left at a repair shop.
In August 2017 communications, Hunter pushed for $10 million to be invested annually in the joint venture with CEFC China Energy, calling a $5 million proposal “new to me” and “obviously unacceptable.” .
“I’m sick of this Kevin,” Hunter said in messages to Gongwen Dong, an employee of CEFC China Energy. “I can make a $5 million salary at any law firm in America.” If you think it’s about money, it’s not. The Bidens (sic) are the best at achieving exactly what the Chairman wants from this partnership. Please let’s not argue about peanuts.’
The next day, one of Hunter’s shell companies, OWASCO PC, received a $10,000 payment from CEFC, House Republicans said, sharing a receipt.
And a separate message said the president’s son was staying in the guest house at Biden’s Delaware home when he wrote to Communist Party official Henry Zhao on July 30, 2017, demanding payment.
“I sit here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made was not fulfilled,” Hunter wrote in 2017, according to a statement released by the GOP.
Hunter then said, according to the deposition, “Tell the principal I want to resolve this issue now before it gets out of hand, tonight.”
“And, Z, if I get a call or a text message from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make sure that between the man sitting next to me and any person he knows, and my ability to hold him forever a grudge that you will regret if you did not follow my instructions. “I’m sitting here waiting for the call with my dad,” he added.
Another frequently quoted message is the reference to “10 percent for the big guys”.
When the First Son and his business partners struck a multi-million dollar deal with Chinese oil giant CEFC in 2017, Hunter’s partner James Gilliar sent an email outlining the proposed ownership of their joint venture and suggesting that Hunter would own 10%. Joe’s name would stick to it.
In the owner list Gilliar wrote: “10 held by H for the big one?”
Another partner in Hunter’s CEFC deal, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that “the big guy” was Joe Biden, and other emails on Hunter’s laptop refer to Joe using the same nickname.
