Dem Rep. Garcia Calls Hunter Biden Investigation a ‘Witch Hunt,’ Talks About Jared and Ivanka: ‘Where Is That Investigation?’

‘The grift from the [Trump] family is breathtaking’

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “And I think Chris Christie, one of the Republicans running for president, said it best, of course, and a former governor. This is his quote, not mine: 'The grift from the family is breathtaking. It’s breathtaking. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Kushner walk out of the White House and months later get $2 billion from the Saudis.' Continued, 'You'd think it’s because it’s some kind of investigative genius, or investing genius, or is it because he was sitting next to the president of the United States for four years and doing favors for the Saudis?' Now these are quotes from a man who's known Trump and the Kushners for years. These people were in the White House every day, formally making policy, unlike Hunter Biden. Now, the Biden family attacks, of course, went nowhere, and so they tried, of course, to create a new storm, a new conspiracy theory with a so-called FBI-Ukraine document, another fake scandal. This new fake scandal had a lot of hype, a lot of scary headlines from our chairman, from a lot of members of this committee, but a lot of us actually read the document, and when you read the document, it was pretty clear this was all hype, just a wild accusation being passed along to the FBI with zero proof. And where did this accusation actually come from? Rudy Giuliani. Just another Rudy Giuliani tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that went nowhere. Rudy Giuliani recommended -- Rudy Giuliani, by the way, whose law license is being recommended to actually be removed. Now, Rudy Giuliani's longtime associate Lev Parnas just said he’s prepared to testify under oath that there is no evidence the president or his son Hunter interfered with Ukrainian politics and there never has been. The Republican U.S. Attorney Scott Brady, handpicked by Donald Trump, determined he did not have sufficient evidence to further investigate Rudy's claims, but members of this committee even today repeat this narrative over and over again. More accusations, no proof, no receipts. So what’s next from this witch-hunt?”
