Raising A Question of the Privileges of the House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend, Anna Paulina Luna, the Representative from Florida, for leading this important resolution.

I just have one question: What is the Biden administration trying to hide?

Attorney General Merrick Garland's refusal to produce evidence establishes a clear pattern of obstruction by the Department of Justice, or rather injustice during this administration, to cover up Joe Biden's wrongdoings.

Joe Biden has lied to the American people about his mishandling of classified documents. Never mind the stories about his uncle being eaten by cannibals. We are not touching that today, but he has also repeatedly denied knowing about or being involved in his family's influence peddling schemes, which the Oversight Committee can now show has raked in $18 million from foreign individuals and entities for Biden family members, including Joe Biden himself.

After the debate, it has grown increasingly apparent that Joe Biden has repeatedly made false statements to the American people about his ability to even lead this country.

Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. Biden's Department of Justice has taken every step to insulate him from any consequences, whether it is hiding these audio recordings or attempting to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal. This is absolutely unacceptable.

The House of Representatives cannot serve as a necessary check on the Presidency if the executive branch is free to ignore the House's subpoenas. It is clear the Biden crime family believes they are above the law.

I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this important resolution and force Biden's crooked DOJ to hand over the tapes and hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
