Republican lawmakers are hitting out against Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) after the California Democrat sought to liken former President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law to the business dealings of Hunter Biden.
The House Oversight Committee held its first impeachment hearing against President Joe Biden on Thursday as GOP lawmakers presented evidence they say justifies an inquiry into the president. During that hearing, Democratic lawmakers sought to poke holes in their accusations, arguing the former president's children had committed similar actions that weren’t deemed impeachment while he was in office.
“Jared Kushner has a legitimate business where he raised investment capital,” Rep. Byron Donalds said. “Hunter Biden has no legitimate business, and the money he collected was spent on him and his family. There is no comparison.” Republicans argued the record already demonstrates that Hunter Biden’s foreign business would not have been possible without the participation of his father, a key distinction between him and Kushner, they said.
