                      HUNTER BIDEN AND IMPEACHMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Garcia) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROBERT GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, House Republicans have 
finally decided to have Hunter Biden testify in public on their sham 
impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
  Now, the American people will soon see what we all saw behind closed 
doors: that there is zero evidence--zero evidence--of any wrongdoing by 
President Biden who had no involvement in any of Hunter's business 
dealings. Absolutely none.
  We will continue to call out these lies.
  Let's take a look at the star witnesses that the House majority has 
brought forward in this political stunt impeachment.
  We have Alexander Smirnov, who we know is an indicted Russian asset. 
He has been indicted for lying, by the way, and working with Russian 
spies. We have another who turned out to be a spy for China, who 
actually sold weapons to Iran. The third witness right now is serving a 
14-year sentence in prison for fraud.
  You can't make this stuff up.
  We also, of course, have recently learned about another disgraced con 
man who colluded with the Trump campaign. They are all-star witnesses 
of the Republican majority. Of course, we shouldn't forget Rudy 
Giuliani and his grand conspiracy theories, which is all the House 
majority is left with.
  Now, the GOP insists on impeaching President Biden at whatever the 
cost, all to help Donald Trump get reelected.
  Now, Donald Trump was impeached twice for his crimes and faces 91 
felony charges, and he is desperate for revenge. If there is anyone we 
should be investigating, it is the Trump crime family and Jared 
Kushner's $2 billion deal from the Saudi Government, which he received 
just weeks after leaving the White House. The one person that was in 
charge of the Middle East--the Middle East envoy--then receives $2 
billion into an investment fund. We know that the Saudis spent hundreds 
of thousands of dollars in Trump properties. That is a real scandal and 
should be investigated.
  It is time to end this impeachment scam and get back to work for the 
American people.
