(Ken Silva, Headline USA) “Parental discretion is advised,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., warned at Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing about Hunter Biden’s tax crimes.
Greene’s warning was for a good reason: She began displaying pornographic photos of Hunter Biden seemingly participating in sexual acts with prostitutes. Greene argued that this was evidence that the U.S. President’s son violated a federal anti-sex trafficking law.
“I believe this is a violation of the Mann Act,” Greene said at Wednesday’s hearing over IRS whistleblower allegations that the Justice Department sabotaged the Hunter Biden administration. The Mann Act is a roughly 113-year-old law that criminalizes the transportation of “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.”
Along with the photos, Greene presented evidence that Biden paid a purchased a plane ticket for a prostitute to fly from Los Angeles to Washington DC on June 14, 2018. Biden allegedly wrote off this purchase on his taxes as a business expense for his law firm, Owasco P.C.
Greene asked the two IRS whistleblowers whether they think Hunter’s purchase constituted a violation of the Mann Act. The whistleblowers were tight-lipped in response, saying they could only speak to their previous whistleblower disclosures about DOJ suppressing the Biden investigation—though whistleblower Joseph Ziegler did say he could provide records about Hunter and the Mann Act to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Greene pressed the whistleblowers for more information.
“Can you confirm that Hunter Biden had written off payments for prostitutes through his law firm, Owasco?” she asked.
This question received an affirmative response from Ziegler.
“I can tell you there were deductions for what we believed to be escorts, and then that $10,000 golf club membership was not for a gold club membership—it was for a sex club payment,” the IRS agent said.
Referring to the pornographic pictures of Hunter displayed behind her, Greene said the woman in the picture was supposedly an employee of Owasco P.C.
However, “This is not what most paralegals do,” Greene noted.
At one point, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-N.Y., asked Committee Chairman James Comer, R-K.Y., whether it was appropriate to display the pornographic images in Congress. Rep. Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y., also criticized Greene for presenting non-public evidence—referring to a series of bank “suspicious activity reports” about Hunter’s financial transactions.
But no Democrat disputed the voracity of Greene’s evidence, nor did they defend Hunter’s actions.
The committee hearing was still ongoing as of the publication of this article.
