Greene shows sexual images of Hunter Biden at IRS whistleblower hearing

Greene shows sexual images of Hunter Biden at IRS whistleblower hearing

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) touched on some of the more salacious topics surrounding Hunter Biden — and got sexual — while questioning IRS whistleblowers who investigated Biden at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday clear posters to make their point clear.

“Before we begin, I want to let the committee and everyone watching at home know that parental discretion is in order,” Greene said.

Greene’s questioning included her holding up small posters with graphic sexual photos from the laptop hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden and was censored using black boxes.

The faces of others involved in the sexual acts have been censored with black boxes, but Biden’s face is visible in the photos.

“Should we flaunt this, Mr. Chairman?” Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) near the end of Greene’s testimony.

Photos of Greene holding up the graphic images immediately filled social media feeds.

Greene claimed that Hunter Biden improperly used his company to write off payments to prostitutes, which IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler would not confirm.

He said there were deductions for what he thought were escorts and that a payment supposedly for membership to a golf club was actually for a “sex club.”

Greene also raised questions about the Mann Act, which criminalizes transporting women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. Ziegler said he couldn’t speak specifically about the Mann Act, but could forward the information he was compiling about Mann Act violations to the House Ways and Means Committee, which Greene could then request.

Ziegler and another IRS whistleblower at the hearing, Gary Shapley, had testified before the House Ways and Means Committee that they were unhappy with the way prosecutors handled the tax crimes case against Hunter Biden, and accused them of moving the investigation forward slowly.

Greene’s focus on the explicit and salacious story of Hunter Biden, who has spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction, contrasts with Comer, who has suggested in the past that the focus of the committee’s investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings is not on his personal actions.

Rep. Robert Garcia used Greene’s gambit later in the hearing to launch an attack on the GOP majority in the House.

“Today’s hearing is like most investigations and majority hearings: lots of allegations, no evidence, no receipts – but apparently a few dick pics,” Garcia said.
