In a startling turn of events, Republicans’ relentless attempts to smear Hunter Biden have once again boomeranged, causing a new low in a House hearing where Marjorie Taylor Greene resorted to pulling out pornographic images in her latest effort to defame the president’s son. ( 📰 DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith Under Fire as Explosive Claims of ‘Disturbing’ Video Surfaces ) As Republicans persisted in grilling IRS agents over their ultimately futile investigation into Hunter Biden, Democrats on the Oversight Committee shifted the spotlight onto the ex-president’s family, with one member, Ivanka, taking center stage.

Openly gay California representative Robert Garcia emphasized the glaring difference between Hunter Biden and the Trump family, especially Ivanka and Jared Kushner, as he pointed out that “no Biden family members hold government positions of any kind. (twitter.com) (nytimes.com) This is, of course, in stark contrast to the Trump Crime Family.” Garcia highlighted the controversies surrounding Ivanka, such as the scandal involving Chinese trademarks granted to her fashion label after she announced its shutdown, as well as Kushner’s questionable business dealings with foreign governments.

As Ivanka’s name was continually mentioned during the proceedings, it appeared to unsettle her, as she had previously been seemingly untouchable. Just last month, a New York City appeals court dismissed all charges against her in a massive fraud lawsuit against her father’s family business.

Despite seemingly trying to distance herself from the Trump name, Ivanka’s past actions and business dealings continue to haunt her. While Hunter Biden faced misdemeanor tax charges and a minor gun-related charge after investigations, the findings could be much more severe if Congress turns its attention to Ivanka.
