During the First Hearing on the Biden impeachment inquiry, Byron Donalds and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in a heated exchange. Donalds presented text messages between Hunter Biden and his uncle, suggesting that Joe Biden had knowledge of Hunter's questionable business dealings with China and Russia. Cortez disputed the authenticity of the text messages, pointing out that only the four witnesses present were under oath, not the members of Congress questioning them or presenting the evidence.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee held the hearing to investigate an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Republicans accused President Biden and his son of engaging in corrupt foreign business deals in Ukraine, China, and Romania. Democrats criticized the inquiry, deeming it unnecessary and lacking credible evidence, particularly given the imminent federal government shutdown.
One of the Republican-called witnesses, Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, argued that the existing evidence against the Bidens fell short of warranting impeachment. However, Turley maintained that an inquiry was essential to uncover the facts surrounding the allegations.
