First son Hunter Biden was put on full (frontal) display during Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) caused a stir when she pulled out photos of the now-53-year-old in compromising positions with a series of women while she peppered newly unmasked IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler with questions.
To kick off her questioning session, Greene warned viewers that “parental discretion is advised” and cautioned that “the following images are disturbing.”
Greene then asked Ziegler whether Hunter Biden had violated the federal Mann Act of 1910, which prohibits the transportation of women across state lines “for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.”
The lawmaker then showed an image of a receipt for a United Airlines plane ticket, booking a woman on a flight from Los Angeles to Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia in June 2018.
The receipt for the ticket was found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
At that point, proceedings got X-rated, as Greene whipped out images including a (mercifully) censored picture of a woman caressing the first son’s, well, first son.
“So when Hunter Biden paid for this woman to do this with him to travel across state lines from California to Washington DC on June 15 — this is a violation of the Mann Act. This was prostitution,” she said.
Then she homed in on allegations that Hunter Biden took money from his law firm Owasco P.C. to pay prostitutes.
“Most most people write off … things for their taxes through their businesses, like a meal or some office supplies,” she said. “Can you confirm for me that Hunter Biden had written off payments to prostitutes through his law firm?”
Ziegler noted that he was limited in what he could say in response.
Greene raised the explicit image again when discussing a bank-created suspicious activity report claiming a “victim” was paid through Hunter Biden’s law firm for prostitution.
Ziegler again declined to confirm whether the first son wrote off payments to prostitutes from Owasco’s accounts, again citing the parameters of his testimony.
“I can tell you that there were deductions for what we believe to be escorts and then that $10,000 golf club membership, yes,” he finally said. “That was not a golf club membership. That was for a sex club payment.”
Finally, Greene turned to the other IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, with a new collage of lewd Hunter Biden images indicating the first son cut multiple sex tapes with prostitutes he paid.
“Should we be displaying this, Mr. Chairman?” Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) was overheard grumbling as Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) struggled to keep a straight face.
Greene’s time ran out before she could get a response.
Wednesday’s hearing featured testimony from Shapley and Ziegler about their allegations that the federal probe of Hunter Biden was rife with favoritism.
In earlier testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, they had alleged that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, who helmed the probe, was stymied from pursuing additional charges against Hunter Biden in both Southern California and in Washington, DC.
Weiss has since come forward and publicly maintained that he had “ultimate authority” in his inquiry, though he did caveat in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that “my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district.”
Weiss ultimately struck a deal in which Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay his federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018, per court documents.
Hunter Biden will also enter a pretrial diversion agreement for a felony charge of possession of a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs.
The 53-year-old is slated to attend a federal court hearing in Wilmington, Del. on July 26 to enter his plea.
